Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She also noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give them pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give them fever-reducing medication or take them to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
