Question
Baby girl, 3 years old, initially felt throat pain, accompanied by mild cough and persistent low-grade fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance, which can be administered systemically or locally, such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity or injecting medication into the tonsils. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is a persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. If the condition is severe or complications occur, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, light diet, adequate rest, and avoiding fatigue.
