Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she had a bit of a fever and wasn't feeling well. Could you please advise on how to treat high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgery. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds that could trigger further tonsillar inflammation.
