Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she has had a low-grade fever for a while. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children 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 can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If it cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis has a characteristic of recurring, so if similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
