Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and he found swallowing a bit difficult. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with high fever for the best effect?
Answer
The treatment for young children’s tonsillitis with high fever primarily involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose according to the symptoms or opt for regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injection. If the main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered for the child. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment, pay attention to a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
