Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated for the best effect in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during treatment.
