Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a long time. Please ask: How should a high fever with tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be considered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
