Patient's question:
My little girl is 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now 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:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is advised. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure your child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
