Question
Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, just started to feel a bit of throat pain, noticed that coughing is quite severe, and also has a bit of fever and lacks energy. 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 to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is advisable to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. Use fever-reducing medication if the child continues to have a fever, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. Pay attention to ensuring the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
