Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water would hurt her throat, and she noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should high fever caused by tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting antibiotics based on bacterial culture sensitivity, local irrigation, or local spraying. Symptomatic medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, prompt medical attention should be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
