Question
My daughter is 7 years old. She just started feeling a bit of pain in her throat, accompanied by a slight cough, and she has a bit of a fever and isn’t very energetic. How should I treat a high fever in infants with tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for infant tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, regional medication such as tonsil crypt irrigation, and intratonsillar injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some pain relief medication according to the situation. If the child has a fever, it should be reduced accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm and preventing colds to avoid recurrent tonsillitis due to colds.
