Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. Local rinsing or topical spraying can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
