Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and 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 has a good effect. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
