Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 6 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she also had a mild cough. Additionally, she's been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take the child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, proper prevention and health care measures should be taken in daily life.
