Question
Dear reader, our little girl is currently 5 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, along with fever and fatigue. How should we treat tonsillitis with high fever in children?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose medications with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s guidance, or consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional drug injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider using pain-relieving medications. If the child has a fever, it should be addressed with temperature reduction as needed. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Additionally, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, adequate rest, and to avoid fatigue.
