Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 4 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she notices that her cough seems quite severe as well. Additionally, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the suffering. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent the symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
