Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 4 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. I'm asking: How should I treat tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children?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 treatment can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
