Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old, just starting, feels a sore throat when talking, found that cough seems to be more serious as well, and has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, as they can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. All of these methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
