Question
A 4-year-old girl. She is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. Question: How can children with tonsillitis be treated effectively for high fever?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be moderately selected for use. At the same time, in addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as hidden pouch irrigation and direct injection of tonsil medication. If there is a sore throat, some pain-relieving medication can be given to the child. If the fever persists, oral antipyretic medication can be taken. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, the child needs to get plenty of rest and consume more fruits and vegetables.
