Question
Dear parents, our daughter, aged 4, has recently started experiencing throat pain while speaking and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a persistent fever. How should we treat tonsillitis with fever in children?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, consider choosing anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or regional laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child primarily exhibits throat pain symptoms, parents can consider giving appropriate pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. In the case of fever, antipyretic medication can be taken; if the high fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrent attacks; after controlling the inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
