Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 1 year old, initially said that swallowing things was painful. I noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well, and she also had a low fever. My question is: If a child has inflamed tonsils and high fever, what treatment methods are most effective?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used to treat tonsillitis. They can be selected on a case-by-case basis. It is also possible to use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling measures are suitable if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
