Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, noticed that his cough was quite severe, and also had low fever. Question: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be taken. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during treatment.
