Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said even drinking water with his throat felt painful. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
