Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat. She noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first use some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local rinsing or local spraying can also be used, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy of these methods is quite good. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child also has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focused on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
