Patient's question:
My little girl is 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to consider giving pain relievers as needed. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
