Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 2 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed her cough seems quite severe too, and she's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, you can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms occur again, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
