Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing drugs can be administered orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help with early recovery.
