Question
Dear readers, our 9-year-old daughter has recently been suffering from severe sore throat, coughing, and persistent high fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. In severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and injection of medications. For sore throat relief, analgesics can be given. If the fever persists, antipyretic medication should be administered or medical attention sought. If the treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
