Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat and hoarseness, accompanied by a fever. What are the treatment suggestions for children with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Treatment for children with tonsillitis and fever can include medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional treatment methods to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, antipyretic medication should be taken as appropriate, but if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences such situations, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes. During the treatment period, it is recommended to provide light meals, ensure adequate nutrition, and allow the child to rest sufficiently, avoiding excessive fatigue.
