Question
How to treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Besides systemic medication, regional treatment can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. Some children may also have fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For those with recurrent acute severe cases or complications, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. 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. Rest should also be prioritized, avoiding fatigue.
