Question
My daughter is 3 years old. She has started to have a sore throat and difficulty swallowing. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
When a child develops tonsillitis, treatment can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, selecting sensitive antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help them recover sooner.
