Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon noticing, his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
