Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis and high fever of the child be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as appropriate. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. These methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
