Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat high fever from tonsillitis in children.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to symptoms. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. It is recommended to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
