Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started to speak and felt a sore throat. Noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated properly.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods. Options such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are also effective. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be used as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
