Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that his cough is quite severe, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
