Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, noticed that, cough seems to be more serious, and now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis when the child has red and swollen tonsils.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or medication injections can also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be chosen to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be ensured to avoid fatigue.
