Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she felt pain when drinking water, and found that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in children should be treated promptly with antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advised to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
