Question
A 9-year-old boy at home has throat pain, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intravenous drug injection. If there are symptoms of throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, antipyretic measures can be taken as necessary. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences episodes, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, pay attention to providing light meals, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
