Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and she was found to have a more severe cough. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How can high fever from tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?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. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
