Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 2 years old, started experiencing a sore throat when she began talking. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with fever in young children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can also be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures.
