Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed that, coughing is quite severe, and now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
