Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting out. She feels a sore throat when talking and notices that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. She has also been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis with fever in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs for their children to effectively relieve inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt flushing, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. For children with fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurring inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid exposure to cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
