Question
Dear Baby, she is only 5 months old. Initially, she said her throat hurt, and it was found that her coughing was also quite severe. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How effective is the treatment for children’s sore throat and fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the child has significant throat pain, some analgesic medication can be administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can also be taken. In cases of persistent high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
