Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever, suspected tonsillitis . How should it be treated?
Answer
The treatment for high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis typically involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Regional therapy can be chosen in the form of laser treatment or pharmacological irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. For temperature management, physical cooling methods can be adopted when the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and oral antipyretics can be used when the temperature is higher. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After recovery, encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
