Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, ensure the child gets plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
