Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe tonsillitis or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
