Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. He noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining it with local treatment methods. Options such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital.In addition to these pharmacological treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical intervention under a doctor's guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, while also ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
