Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old, just starting, says her throat hurts even when drinking water, notices it accompanied by mild cough, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
