Question
Baby boy, 9 months old, with sore throat, hoarse voice, low-grade fever. How should a child with a sore throat and high fever be treated?
Answer
Common treatments for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and consider laser therapy or medication rinses as regional treatment methods. In cases of fever, timely temperature-reduction methods should be chosen to keep the body temperature below 38.5 degrees Celsius through physical cooling. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be considered. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and in severe cases, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to providing adequate nutrition, light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
