Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 2 years old, just starting, feels a sore throat when speaking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be combined. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, fever reduction should be considered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
