Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also had severe coughing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
