Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. He has a sore throat with a slight cough and is a bit feverish, lacking in energy. How should I treat his infant tonsillitis with high fever effectively?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can select appropriate medications based on symptoms, such as local treatments like rinses or injectable drugs into the tonsils. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is a fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention quickly during high fever. If the medication is ineffective and there are repeated recurrences, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. Ensuring the child gets plenty of rest and consuming more fruits and vegetables is also very important.
