Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, when talking, he felt a sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
