Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 5 years old, recently experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. I would like to ask: What are the treatment methods for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The main method of clinical treatment for children with tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on symptoms and also opt for regional treatments, such as tonsil irrigation or injections. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of throat pain, it is recommended that parents administer pain relievers in moderation to alleviate the pain. If the child also has a low-grade fever, cooling measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods, but if a child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest schedule to help the child recover sooner.
