Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, and then it was discovered that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections can also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
