Question
How to treat a child with high fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be treated with antipyretics. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For those with recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
