Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and it seemed difficult to swallow. He also had a bit of a fever and was not very energetic. What should I do to treat a high fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose symptomatic treatment based on the symptoms, or consider regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and regional drug injections. Painkillers or fever reducers may also be given. If the symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition stabilizes, surgery may be considered to prevent recurrence, and during the treatment period, it is important to pay attention to light diet, with a focus on liquid foods.
