Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
