Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she has been slightly feverish for a long time. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child's symptoms. 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 the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
