Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and at the same time, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and high fever, how should it be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
