Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, take their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
