Treatment Methods for High Fever in Children with tonsillitis

Question

A four-month-old girl is experiencing difficulty swallowing and pain, accompanied by persistent high fever, tonsillitis . How should one treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

For treating high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, it is first considered to administer appropriate antibiotic medications to combat the infection. In terms of regional treatment, medication sprays or laser therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms. If there is throat pain, a moderate dose of painkillers can be given. For fever management, oral fever-reducing medication can be tried initially; if symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For cases with recurrent episodes or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides in two weeks. At the same time, attention should be paid to adjusting the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
