Patient's question:
My male child is 2 years old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and he noticed that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds that could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
