Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. He noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and at the same time, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
