Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated for the best effect.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe tonsillitis or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm to prevent worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
