Question

Dear reader, our little girl is currently 3 years old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water and swallowing. She has been experiencing severe coughing and has had a slight fever. How should we treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child some anti-inflammatory medication and also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. If the child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During the treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
