Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that coughing is quite severe, at the same time, a little fever and no energy, please ask: If the child has tonsillitis and high fever, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar cases occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the treatment period.
