Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she has severe coughing and also has a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, they can take some fever-reducing medications orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advised to consider surgery as early as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
