Patient's question:
My little boy, he's one year old. At first, he said his throat hurt when swallowing. We noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he had a slightly fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt flushing, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has a characteristic of recurring, so if similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is crucial to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
