Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. Later, I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
