Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old, just starting out. When speaking, she feels a sore throat. It was found that coughing seems to be more serious as well, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis with high fever in children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication, etc., which are all good options. Pain relievers can also be given to the child based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to avoid catching a cold, which could trigger further inflammation of the tonsils.
