Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and it seemed difficult to swallow. She also had a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is advisable to select anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. For regional treatments, laser therapy or medication irrigation are recommended. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. Physical cooling methods can be employed for low-grade fevers. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also ensure proper warmth for their children to prevent colds and subsequent tonsillitis.
