Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. Just starting, feels sore throat when talking. Found that cough seems to be more severe as well. Currently has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given to the child. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are currently the most commonly used for treating tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
