Question
My daughter is 5 years old. Recently, she has been experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent fever. I would like to know about the treatment methods for high fever in young children with tonsillitis.
Answer
Treat the symptoms with anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can be considered to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken; if there is no relief, medical treatment is necessary. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgery may be considered, and during the treatment process, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, rest more, and avoid fatigue.
