Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should one 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 based on the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication can be combined. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended.
