Treatment for Infants and Young Children with High Fever due to tonsillitis

Question

My son is 1 year old, and he mainly complaints of sore throat, hoarse voice, accompanied by low-grade fever. How should we treat high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment or regional radiation therapy can be considered. For obvious symptoms of sore throat, painkillers can be used. If the child has a fever, consider fever reduction according to the situation; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold that may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
