Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking and had difficulty swallowing. Now she has a persistent high fever. How should infant and young children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
It is advisable for parents to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their child under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional laser therapy or drug irrigation may be considered if necessary. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered appropriately. For fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early when experiencing high fever, and consider surgical treatment if necessary to avoid recurrence. After the condition is controlled, pay attention to rest and consume more fruits and vegetables.
