Question
Dear readers, our little girl is currently 3 years old. She has just started experiencing pain when swallowing and drinking water. We noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Currently, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the sensitive strain of the pathogen, and can include regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and intramuscular injections. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used, and antipyretics can be taken if there is a fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly if there is a high fever, and if the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
