Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
