Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat when drinking water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should high fever in infants with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If necessary, such as when the child’s sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take some antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
