Patient's question:
Little girl, currently 4 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. How should you treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis,medication such as antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. 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 there are multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, strengthen nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
