Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough seems to be quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should the fever from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication may be considered. If the child also has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
