Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he also had a low fever. Please ask: How can the high fever caused by tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
