Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, coughing seems to be more severe as well, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication if appropriate. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
