Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that coughing is quite severe, and also, it's been high fever for a while now. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and high fever in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be applied. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
