Question

Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, just started to feel pain when swallowing water, noticed that, swallowing seems a bit difficult, at the same time, has been a bit feverish, please ask: how to treat high fever in infants with tonsillitis for the best effect.

Answer

When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is first advisable to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. In severe cases, consider complementary regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. Provide the child with appropriate painkillers based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Some children may experience fever as well; in such cases, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken, and if it is ineffective, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily; if similar conditions arise, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
