Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He noticed mild coughing and had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How to treat high fever from pediatric tonsillitis.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and recurrent tonsillitis.
