Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Upon noticing, her cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and high fever, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing drugs or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
