Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgical intervention at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
