Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. 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 has a sore throat, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help them recover as soon as possible.
