Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. 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, or local medications can be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medications can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be primarily followed during the treatment period.
