Question
A baby boy, just over 2 months old, has started to experience a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, accompanied by fever and a lack of energy. Inquiry: How to treat high fever in pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture and the selection of sensitive antibiotic medications. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection are also effective. When the child’s throat pain is evident, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery may be considered. At the same time, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
