Patient's question:
My little girl is 2 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis and high fever?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to provide relief. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
