Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed something. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. 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 recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. Finally, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment early for their child, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
