Patient's question:
My little girl is 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a slight fever and lacked energy. Could you please advise on how to effectively treat infant tonsillitis with high fever?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, and the results are generally effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. Additionally, if the child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple episodes of acute severe symptoms or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. 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.
