Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that she also had mild coughing and low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be given, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents can consider giving some analgesics to relieve the pain. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
