Question
The boy is already 1 year old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat and noticed difficulty in swallowing. Additionally, he now has a persistent high fever. How should we treat low fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used. The choice of sensitive medication can be based on bacterial culture, which is effective. Regional irrigation or spraying can also be considered, and symptomatic medication can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is good. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
