Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. He also had mild coughing, and a slight fever with no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar medication injections, and other treatments are quite effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with early recovery.
