Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had been slightly feverish for a while. Please ask: How should I treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers may be given. If a fever is present, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be taken for temperatures above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
