Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, says drinking water feels sore in the throat, found that cough seems to be more severe as well, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child has a balanced diet and proper rest habits to help the condition recover as soon as possible.
