Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting to say that swallowing things hurts. Noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or opt for local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which are quite effective. 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 reducing body temperature should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral fever-reducing medications can be taken if the temperature is above 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
