Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had a mild cough. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis and fever?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 rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. In cases of sore throat, you can give children pain relievers. If the child has persistent fever that doesn’t subside, you can take fever-reducing medication orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
