Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she seemed to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. I'm asking: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
