Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can also be used. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
