Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He started saying that it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat the high fever in my child with tonsillitis for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, you can choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor, and also use regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil intralesional injection. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms and give the child fever-reducing medication to lower body temperature. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should timely take their child to the hospital. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. At the same time, also pay attention to giving your child a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
