Patient's question:
My little girl is 8 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had been slightly feverish for a while. Please advise: What should be done for her tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
