Question
A 4-year-old boy started to feel a sore throat when speaking, noticed his voice was a bit hoarse, and also had a fever and seemed listless. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and can also be complemented with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. For high fevers, it is recommended to seek medical attention early on. In cases where there is a recurrent inflammatory condition, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and sleeping habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
