Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
