Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. It was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child's symptoms. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can be given to the child based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
