Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old. At first, her throat felt a bit sore, and then she started coughing more severely. Additionally, she has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated for a child to be most effective?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
