Question
My daughter is one year old, and she recently has been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. What should be the treatment for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. In severe cases, consider combining local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injectable medications. For throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery is also an option for children who have recurrent attacks, during which the child should be well-rested and consume plenty of fruits and vegetables.
