Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis and fever of the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local rinsing or topical sprays can also be applied. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is good. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and reactivation of tonsillitis.
