Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed something. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and high fever in the child?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms, or local irrigation or topical spray can be used. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have good efficacy. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to perform a tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
