Question
A 6-month-old female infant has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should one treat a child’s high fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and regional drug injections. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever symptoms can be treated with antipyretics. In serious cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy about two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and living habits for the child, which will help in recovery.
