Question
A four-month-old baby is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be considered first, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or even intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medication, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be used as appropriate, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light foods, and to pay attention to sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
