Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he talked. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can low-grade fever from tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, etc. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be applied. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
