Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old, just starting. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water. She also has mild coughing and seems to have a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
