Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She was found to have severe coughing, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and high fever in my child?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child has a particularly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Additionally, if a fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Once the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
