Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral fever-reducing medication can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
