Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 5 years old, started by saying he had a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis with high fever be treated for the child to recover effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If the condition does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
