Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially said she had a sore throat. It was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and at the same time, she had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when the child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and receives adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
