Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be diagnosed and 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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
