Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore, and it was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated for the child to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar episodes occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
