Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and she noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Moreover, 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 are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. While treating the condition, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
