Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing things. I noticed that her cough seems to be more severe as well, and she's a bit feverish and lacks energy. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
