Question
My daughter, who is currently 9 years old, initially complained of a sore throat, and I noticed that her coughing seems more severe. She also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How effective is the treatment for fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used to treat fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. Painkillers can be administered for severe throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken for fever symptoms. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought early, and surgery may be considered. It is important to maintain warmth and prevent recurrence of infection in daily life.
