Question
My daughter is 8 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. She also has a low-grade fever. What should be the treatment for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with the selection of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar drug injections are also employed. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be appropriately administered. For fever, oral antipyretics should be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition, surgery is one of the viable methods, suitable for children with recurrent attacks, and attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold during the treatment period.
