Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurt even when she drank water, and I noticed she also had mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like she hasn't recovered from a low fever. I'm asking: How can high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
