How to Treat High Fever in Infants and Toddlers with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also had a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children?

Doctor's answer:

To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor based on symptoms. For local treatment, it is recommended to opt for laser therapy or medication rinsing. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the discomfort. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and re-inflammation of the tonsils.
