Question
A boy, already 1 year old, initially had a slight pain in the throat, and discovered that he also had a mild cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should the high fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice. Parents can choose according to symptoms. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and consume mainly liquid foods.
