Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water. She also had mild coughing and a low fever. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
