Patient's question:
My little girl, she is 6 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a low fever. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
