Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
