Question
My daughter is 5 months old, she has a sore throat, discomfort when drinking water, hoarse voice, and a persistent high fever. How to treat high fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture and are effective. Additionally, regional irrigation or spraying, or even symptomatic injection therapy can also be effective. If there are symptoms of throat pain, a moderate amount of pain reliever can be administered to relieve discomfort. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be used. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. In addition to common methods, surgery is also an option for children with recurrent attacks. Adequate rest and health maintenance are necessary during the treatment period.
