Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also seemed to have a more severe cough, and she had been running a low fever. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?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. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Additionally, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and proper rest habits for the child to aid in early recovery.
