Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water. He also had severe coughing and low fever. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for treatment, all of which are quite effective. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
