Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now, high fever is not going down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with high fever be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. Pain relievers can be given when necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and subsequent inflammation of the tonsils.
