Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to the above medication and treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
