Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and she has had a slightly feverish condition all along. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis with high fever of the child be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, parents are advised to 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. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent the symptoms from worsening.
