Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful, and she noticed that her voice sounded a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: How should high fever due to pediatric tonsillitis be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local medications, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar medication, or providing pain relief medications for the child, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can be given antipyretic drugs on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurring tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering recurrent tonsillitis.
