Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis with fever in children.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
