Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How can the high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may be combined. If the child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during the treatment period.
