Question
My daughter is 9 years old and has just started experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever. How should I treat her for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider regional treatments to enhance effectiveness, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct drug injections. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can also be considered, especially when the throat pain is severe. If the child has a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. Parents should ensure warmth to prevent colds from triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
