Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she had been running a slightly high fever for quite some time. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis mainly relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which shows good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intra-tonsillar medication. Pain relievers can be administered to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the subsequent recurrence of tonsillitis.
