Patient's question:
Boy, 8 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should give fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and receives adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
