Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. Noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. 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 has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
