Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?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 tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child also has low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
