Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should one treat tonsil inflammation and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be the primary choice.
