Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. She has also had a slightly feverish condition for a while. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given 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°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
