Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. She also had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should we treat her tonsillitis with high fever for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If the child has tonsillitis, first, symptomatic antibiotic medication can be used. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child is well-warmed and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
