Question
A 4-month-old female infant initially experienced a sore throat, severe cough, and now has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?
Answer
During treatment, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection of medications can be considered. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is a fever, it should be appropriately reduced. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If there are acute and severe recurrent attacks or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
