Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed he also had mild coughing. Additionally, he has been running a low fever. I would like to ask: How can we effectively treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatment can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
