Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned two months old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and then found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and seemed a bit sluggish. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be selected based on bacterial culture to use sensitive antibiotics. It can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are all quite effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
