Patient's question:
My little girl, she's one year old. At first, when she started talking, she felt a sore throat. I noticed it, accompanied by a slight cough, and she's been running a low fever. Please ask: If a child has tonsillitis and high fever, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic medication can be considered, but if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger further tonsillar inflammation.
