Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How is the treatment for tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, you can first administer anti-inflammatory medication tailored to the child's symptoms. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medication can be injected into the tonsils for targeted relief, all of which have proven effective. Pain relief medication can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
