Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and then she started coughing severely, with a bit of fever and lack of energy. How should I treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and also combine them with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection drugs, which are quite effective. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
