Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she had a bit of pain in her throat. Then, I noticed her coughing seemed quite severe too. Plus, she had a bit of a fever and wasn't feeling well. My question is: How should we treat infant tonsillitis with fever?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injection drugs. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be applied in a timely manner. Physical cooling can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius.In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child is well-protected from the cold to prevent symptoms from worsening.
