Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. She notices her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis first involves the parents giving their child some anti-inflammatory medications. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injection into the tonsils. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, especially for children who experience recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
