Question
An 8-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by persistent high fever. What is the best treatment for a child with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, which can be chosen based on symptoms. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child has a fever, it can be cooled as needed; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication treatment, surgery is applicable to children with recurrent attacks. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
