Question
A 3-year-old child has developed purulent tonsillitis caused by bacteria. The child is allergic to ceftriaxone. What medication can be used to reduce fever and inflammation instead of intravenous ceftriaxone?
Answer
In addition to intravenous ceftriaxone, it is recommended to receive timely intravenous treatment and appropriate nutritional supplementation. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods such as fever-reducing patches can be used to avoid side effects. Oral ceftriaxone and pediatric ibuprofen granules can be taken for fever reduction and inflammation.
