Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she said her throat hurt. It was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can also be used. Pain relievers can be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
