Question
How should I treat my child’s high fever caused by tonsillitis? My daughter is 5 years old, and she just started saying her throat hurts. I noticed she has a slight cough and a bit of fever, and she seems less energetic.
Answer
To treat tonsillitis, you can use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, perform tonsil crypt cleaning or injections. Painkillers and antipyretics can be given as needed to manage fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is a method of treatment for children with recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, ensure your child gets adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, rest more, and avoid fatigue.
