Patient's question:
The child was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis a week ago and has had a low fever. They took penicillin for three days and consumed bacterial dissolution tablets and heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine. Now, they have a low fever again, and their throat makes a rattling sound while sleeping, as if it has inflamed again.Question: If tonsillitis causes high fever, how should it be diagnosed and treated?
Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of high fever requires timely use of antipyretic drugs for treatment. Yes, it is necessary. In the current situation, the use of symptomatic drugs, such as nimesulide, can be determined based on the body temperature to implement antipyretic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to drinking more hot water, which can help raise body temperature and fully recover from the impact of tonsillitis. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If tonsillitis does not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
