Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough seems to be more severe, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be ensured to avoid fatigue.
