Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be combined, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the suffering. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
