Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he had low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgery for treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
