Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, started by saying her throat hurts. I noticed that she seems to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
