Patient's question:
My son is 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts even when drinking water, and he noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat high fever from tonsillitis in children well.Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
