Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At the beginning, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed it accompanied by mild cough, and also had low fever. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are relatively common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
