Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms or use local treatments, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
