Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used. Symptomatic medication can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child still has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
