Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she felt sore throat even when drinking water, and then discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, it seemed like her low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. At the same time as taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
