Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he had mild coughing and a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
