Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his cough was also quite severe. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
