Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, severe coughing, and persistent fever symptoms, diagnosed with tonsillitis. How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are commonly used in clinical practice, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on the results of bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, are also effective. If the child’s throat pain is severe, analgesics can be administered to relieve discomfort. Fever symptoms can be treated with antipyretic drugs, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s advice. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes vegetables and fruits.
