Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He has also had a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with high fever for the best results?
Answer
The treatment for high fever in children with tonsillitis primarily includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, and laser therapy can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage them to eat more vegetables and fruits.
