Patient's question:
Boy, 7 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and he noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
