Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 6 years old. Initially, she complained of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. For localized treatment, options like laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation may be suggested. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. For children with fever symptoms, medications with antipyretic effects can be administered. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, early surgery may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
