Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she felt pain in her throat when drinking water. She also had a slight cough and a bit of a fever, lacking in energy. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, initial treatment can include targeted antibiotic medications. You can also complement this with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections. If the primary symptom is throat pain, consider administering painkillers. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrent episodes. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
