Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a low fever. I would like to ask: How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
