Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Moreover, he has now developed a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers may be recommended based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during the daily routine and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
