Question
My daughter, currently 6 years old, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed some coughing, and has had a slight fever. How should fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be used. In cases where the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
