Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has recently shown symptoms of throat pain, a hoarse voice, and persistent fever. How should fever in infants with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For infants with tonsillitis, antibiotic use, regional therapy, or symptomatic medication by injection can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. If the fever persists, antipyretics can be used cautiously. However, if the fever does not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of inflammation.
