Question
A 7-year-old boy, at first, said he felt pain when swallowing, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low-grade fever. How should one treat a high fever in a child with tonsillitis inflammation?
Answer
The treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include medication treatment and surgical treatment. Medication treatment can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and can also be supplemented with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If the child has a fever, antipyretics can be used as appropriate, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
