Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She was also found to have mild coughing. Now, she has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local rinsing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
