Question
Dear Parent, my daughter is currently 4 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat while speaking, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect?
Answer
Treating pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsil. If the child primarily experiences symptoms of throat pain, parents may consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, some antipyretic medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage your child to engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
