Patient's question:
My child has had recurrent tonsillitis for the past two years, and each episode of inflammation is accompanied by high fever. If this continues, I'm really worried about the child's health being compromised. May I ask: Is it okay to administer intravenous fluids for tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the baby has a high fever. It's best to give intravenous fluids. The amount of medicine for IV is large, and it works quickly. Muscle injections use small needles, with a small amount of medicine, but the baby still feels pain. I suggest you take the baby to the hospital for IV fluids. Usually, it takes about three days of IV treatment. It's best not to give small needle injections, as they are painful and take longer to heal. In addition to treating tonsillitis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and always maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and speed up recovery.
