Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For 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. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
