Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts even when drinking water. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis be treated in children?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, it is necessary to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
