Question

How should one treat high fever in young children with tonsillitis?

Answer

There are various treatment options for pediatric tonsillitis. Based on the results of bacterial culture, sensitive antibiotic medications can be chosen for treatment. Additionally, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation can be attempted. When the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give the child antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital for consultation. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time for the child.
