Question

Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, just started to complain of a sore throat, and it was found that she also had a slight cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should a high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered, and if the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately given. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also use fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
