Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said even drinking water made her throat hurt. She found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local flushing or topical spraying can also be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is quite good. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
