Question
My daughter is currently 6 years old. Initially, she felt pain when swallowing water, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. I would like to know how to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis.
Answer
In clinical practice, antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are one of the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the condition, and can also perform local irrigation or use medication for local spraying, while also injecting the corresponding medication into the tonsils to achieve the therapeutic effect. If there is a sore throat, children can be given painkillers, and physical cooling measures can be taken for low-grade fever. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
