Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and then noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, she had been running a low fever. I would like to ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
