Question
Dear Baby Girl, she is currently 7 years old and just started saying that she has a sore throat when swallowing. It was discovered that swallowing seems to be a bit difficult, and she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, laser therapy, and so on. Painkillers can also be administered based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the fever cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are relatively common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
