Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She then noticed that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all quite effective. If the child's throat pain is severe, you can also give some pain-relieving medication as needed. If the child still has a fever, you can take fever-reducing medication as appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, it is recommended to have the tonsillectomy performed two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
