Question
A five-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is generally recommended to use antibiotics for symptomatic treatment, which is effective in most cases. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be used as auxiliary measures. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. It is also important to keep the child warm in everyday life to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
