Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
