Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found that coughing is quite severe, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, local flushing or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, and above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
