Patient's question:
Baby girl, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be given. If there are recurrent inflammation cases, surgical treatment can be considered. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their child to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
