Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 2 years old, just started to have a slight sore throat, noticed that when she speaks, her voice is a bit hoarse, and it seems like she has a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to use symptomatic antibiotic medications. For regional treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation are recommended. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. For low-grade fevers, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
