Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be used for children. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
