Question
My daughter is 4 years old. Initially, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and I noticed that when she talks, her voice is a bit hoarse, and it seems like she has a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should we treat tonsillitis with fever in children effectively?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. The choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, and the effect is good. Regional medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition, surgery is one of the feasible methods, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
