Question
Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, just started to say that her throat is sore, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?
Answer
To treat fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis effectively, you can choose symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. For regional treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child’s throat is particularly sore, some painkillers can be given. If the fever persists, it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs, so if there are similar symptoms, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
