Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be getting worse. At the same time, he 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:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections, which are all quite effective. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the doctor for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
