Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?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 drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the child primarily presents with sore throat symptoms, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers as needed to alleviate discomfort. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
