Question

An 8-month-old male baby is experiencing sore throat and hoarseness, with a persistent low-grade fever. What are effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?

Answer

Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, which is effective. Additionally, regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication rinses, or the administration of painkillers can be considered, especially when the throat is severely painful. If there are fever symptoms, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For chronic recurrent episodes, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. During the treatment process, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and increases the intake of vegetables and fruits.
