Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
