Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever, tonsillitis. How should one handle high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be administered, along with regional rinsing or spray treatments. Injections of symptomatic medication can also be given within the tonsils, all of which have been shown to be effective. If the child has severe throat pain, a pain reliever can be administered in moderation. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be used. In case of severe symptoms, immediate medical attention is recommended. The aforementioned methods are common treatment approaches, but if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene, and adequate rest should be ensured.
