Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, when she spoke, she felt a sore throat. She noticed it, and her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's sore throat is severe, it is recommended to give pain relievers based on the situation. 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, and above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
