Patient's question:
My child at home is a boy, 4 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also had low fever. Please ask: How should I treat the high fever caused by tonsillitis in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be given appropriately. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser treatment can be applied. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take measures to reduce the fever. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to the aforementioned medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is important to ensure the child follows a light diet and focuses on nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
