Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 6 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she talks, and she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or the presence of complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is essential to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
