Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something, and then we noticed she also has a slight cough. Additionally, she's been running a low fever. I'm asking: How should I treat her tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, can be given some antibiotics to the child, which is relatively effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
