Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 7 years old, initially felt a sore throat when speaking. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when talking and also had a slight fever with low energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
