Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
