Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 8 years old. She initially complained of a sore throat when drinking water, and her voice became hoarse during speech, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to help alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. If regional treatment is needed, laser therapy or drug irrigation may be suggested. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms. For children with fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
