Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old, at first, said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Depending on the child's condition, pain relievers can also be given, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
