Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing throat pain, a hoarse voice, and persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, along with local treatments such as gargles or throat sprays, which can help stabilize the efficacy of the treatment. If throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given; at the same time, physical cooling methods can be used when low-grade fever occurs. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
