Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed she also has a mild cough and a slight fever, and she's not very energetic. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. For children with fever symptoms, you can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
