Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and she noticed it. Her cough was quite severe, and she had a slight fever. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated properly?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent recurrence.
