Patient's question:
Female baby, only 1 month old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that coughing is quite severe, and has been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should high fever from pediatric tonsillitis be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
