Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat was sore. It was noticed that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their children anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. Moreover, if fever is present, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
