Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 5 years old and has just started experiencing throat pain with difficulty drinking water, accompanied by coughing and low-grade fever. How should we diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
During treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the child’s symptoms, and regional treatments can also be performed, such as cleaning the deep parts of the tonsils or injecting regional medications. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; if the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. In addition to common treatment methods, if there is a long-term recurrence of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. Parents should pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
