Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. They can also combine these with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. In addition to these pharmaceutical treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment under the advice of a doctor. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
