Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and it seemed he had difficulty swallowing. He also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How should I treat high fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
The following methods can be used to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis:
- Choose sensitive antibiotic medications for treatment based on the results of bacterial culture.
- Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can be performed.
- Painkillers can be administered when the child’s sore throat is particularly severe.
- Antipyretic medications can be taken if there is a fever.
- If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
- If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered.
- During treatment, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits. Please note that these suggestions are for reference only, and specific treatment plans should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
