Question

Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 5 years old. Initially, she mentioned that it was painful to swallow, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during speech. Additionally, it seems like she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever for optimal effectiveness?

Answer

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and at the same time, regional treatment can be selected to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If the pain in the throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
