Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and then we noticed he also has a mild cough. Additionally, he has a slight fever and doesn't seem energetic. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat tonsillitis with high 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 according to symptoms, or use local medications, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
