Question
My 8-year-old daughter is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, with a persistent high fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis with fever?
Answer
The current treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitivity test results of the bacteria. Additionally, regional cleaning or spraying, or even direct injection of symptomatic medication can be performed. At the same time, painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain, and appropriate fever-reducing medication should be given if there is fever. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive measures and health care in their daily lives.
