Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made her throat hurt, and she noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, maintain a light diet, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
