Patient's question:
Female baby, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and seemed listless. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotics, or local treatments can be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take some fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children who experience recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
