Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She also found that her cough seemed quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first, they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
