Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well. She has also had a slightly feverish condition for a while. I would like to ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can administer pain relievers as needed to alleviate the discomfort. For children with fever symptoms, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or complications have already developed, it is advisable to have a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
