Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also ensure their children are properly warmed to prevent catching colds, which could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
