Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurt when swallowing, and it was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when talking. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
