Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for the best effect?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 based on symptoms, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and focus on liquid diets during the treatment period.
