Question
My daughter is currently 9 years old. She has just started to feel a sore throat, with difficulty in swallowing, and she has a persistent high fever. How can we treat her tonsillitis with high fever more effectively?
Answer
In treating such conditions, it is advisable to administer symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child and perform regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or intralesional injections. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers may be recommended based on the situation. At the same time, if the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take their child to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
