Question
Dear parents, our daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and slight fever. How should we diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, perform regional treatments such as tonsil crypt cleaning and medication injections, and consider laser therapy. For children withobvious sore throat, painkillers can be used, and for mild fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is recommended to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
