Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts. Found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and fever in children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some analgesics to relieve the pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
