Question
Dear team, my daughter is currently 4 years old. She has just started to complain that drinking water causes pain in her throat, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe. Additionally, she has a persistent high fever that doesn’t seem to go away. I would like to know: How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and high fever for the best results?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as pus pocket irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with pronounced symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medication can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretic medication is required. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. It is also necessary to ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and avoids fatigue.
