Question
My 3-year-old son just started saying that he feels pain when swallowing, and I noticed he has difficulty swallowing, along with a fever. How should one treat fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for fever in infants with tonsillitis includes using symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional therapy (such as tonsil irrigation and regional injection medications), and providing pain relief drugs as needed. Physical methods for cooling the body should be employed to address the fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the episodes are frequent, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
