Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also seemed to have more severe coughing, and it looked like her low-grade fever never went away. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain-relieving medications to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
