Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't break. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
