Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. He just started experiencing a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat a child's tonsillitis with fever?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used in conjunction. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child has a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics should be taken for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Finally, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
