Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics may be administered. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If such cases occur, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
