Patient's question:
My little girl is one year old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then I noticed she had severe coughing and a bit of fever, and she wasn't very energetic. Could you please tell me how to treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
