Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent symptom exacerbation.
