Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated for better effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the child’s inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar drug injections can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered for the child. Moreover, if accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the child’s fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
