Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children well.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
