Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old, just starting to say she has pain when swallowing, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be applied, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
