Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. While treating the condition, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
