Question
Dear Baby, she is currently 9 years old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her coughing was quite severe. She also has a slight fever. How should we treat a high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. You can also complement this with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite effective. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. For low-grade fevers, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their children for medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, it is important to pay attention to related preventive and health care measures during daily life.
