Patient's question:
Boy, who is 6 years old, initially said that he felt pain when swallowing, and noticed mild coughing. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How to treat high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to the child based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as this can help alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
