Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. Later, we noticed mild coughing, and he has had a slightly feverish temperature all along. Please ask: How should we treat tonsillitis with high fever in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
When it comes to treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.。
