Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed accordingly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during the treatment period.
