Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat, notices it, and seems to have difficulty swallowing. At the same time, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has a sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
