Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 8 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and I noticed that her cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, she had been running a low fever for a while. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, local flushing, or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for effective treatment. If necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate antipyretic medication can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor's guidance. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
