Patient's question:
Female baby, only 9 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She then noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis and high fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
