Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was found that his cough seemed quite severe as well. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary.In addition to the above medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching colds, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
