Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
