Question
My daughter is 8 years old and recently has been experiencing throat pain, hoarseness, and a low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with high fever for better effectiveness?
Answer
Generally, when treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is advisable to administer a moderate dose of antibiotics, which tend to show significant results. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as nasal and pharyngeal lavage and injection medications can also be combined. If the child’s throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medications can be provided. If there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. It is also important to arrange for a light diet, supplement nutrition, and promote a quick recovery.
