How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and had a slight fever with low energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as early as possible.
