Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and it was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, first they can take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. For local treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication rinsing. For children with obvious sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor and choose surgery for treatment under medical supervision. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
