Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How should a high fever with tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers may be given when necessary, especially if a child has severe sore throat. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
