Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat. It's been discovered that her cough seems quite severe as well, and she's a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should one treat tonsillitis and high fever in a child?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during treatment.
