Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. She noticed that her cough seems to be quite severe as well, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
