Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
The current common treatments for tonsillitis include antibiotic medications and regional treatments such as rinsing or injection. It is recommended to give painkillers in appropriate doses to relieve throat pain, and if accompanied by a low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
