Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when talking, and at the same time, he has now high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. Persistent fever in children should be promptly treated with antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child remains warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
