Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, found that coughing is quite severe, and it seems like low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
