How to Diagnose and Treat High Fever in Children with Tonsillitis

A 7-year-old girl, initially complaining of pain when swallowing, was found to have a severe cough and a slight fever, lacking in energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated? First, parents can give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medication can be used. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is required. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Rest should also be prioritized to avoid fatigue.
