Patient's question:
Child has tonsillitis these days. Now she has been given anti-inflammatory medicine, but it keeps recurring. She also doesn't want to eat. Can you please ask what to do about the baby's tonsillitis and fever?Doctor's answer:
Children's tonsillitis is caused by various pathogens entering the tonsils of children. The local manifestations are clear, hence the name children's tonsillitis. It is one of the acute upper respiratory infections. If it is the case, there will be local sore throat, general weakness, and fever, leading to oral, pharyngeal, and tonsillar swelling. Depending on the severity of the disease, it usually lasts for three to four days. If it is a purulent tonsillitis, it may be a serious bacterial infection. There may be pus on the tonsils, and the number of white blood cells will increase significantly. There may be prolonged fever, which may last for four to five days. Therefore, antibiotics must be used. Adrenal cortical hormones can be used as appropriate, as well as antipyretics and analgesics.
