How to treat high fever and tonsillitis in young children

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with high fever in young children be treated.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medications can be administered orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to avoid catching a cold, which could trigger further tonsillitis.
