Question
My son is 1 year old. He has just started to feel pain when swallowing, and his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should we treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be considered in conjunction, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, analgesic medication can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also give some antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child’s warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
