How to Treat High Fever in Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had mild coughing and a slight fever with no energy. Please ask: How to treat high fever from pediatric tonsillitis effectively.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. They can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take some fever-reducing medication orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, after the illness is under control, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
