How to Treat High Fever and Tonsillitis in Young Children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated well.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Local medications can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
