Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, initially said she had a sore throat. I noticed that she also had mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
