Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and has been a bit feverish. Please ask: How can the fever from tonsillitis be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling down should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
