Question
A baby girl, just one month old, at first, had a slight sore throat, noticed it, and when talking, her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a fever and seemed listless. How should one treat high fever in children with tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If there is also a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods, but if the child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is suggested to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help recovery as soon as possible.
