Question
A three-month-old girl infant is suffering from tonsillitis accompanied by high fever, manifested as throat pain, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?
Answer
In the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily uses antibiotic medications, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections are also viable treatment methods. If the child experiences severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered to relieve discomfort. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used as appropriate, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For children with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage the child in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
