Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like a low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to use fever-reducing measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
