Patient's question:

My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat high fever from tonsillitis in young children well.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. If the child also has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to alleviate symptoms.
