Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
