Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she felt sore throat even when drinking water. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever be treated for the child to be most effective?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
