Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 9 years old and has recently been experiencing severe sore throat and coughing, accompanied by a persistent high fever. How should we treat high fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered first, along with regional treatments such as washing the tonsillar crypts or injecting medications. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers may be considered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken. It is advisable to seek medical attention early on, as tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and surgery may be considered if necessary. During the treatment period, pay attention to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
