Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was noticed that his cough also seemed quite severe. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, and local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can also be performed. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. For children with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
