Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just starting. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all quite effective. 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 be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
