Question
A 6-month-old infant is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis accompanied by high fever be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture results, as well as regional treatment methods such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts and regional drug injections. Painkillers can be considered when there is severe throat pain, and antipyretic medications can be used to treat fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. For recurrent episodes or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Additionally, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child, which can help the disease recover sooner.
