Question
Baby boy, 9 months old, with sore throat, hoarse voice, accompanied by persistent high fever. How should young children with tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best effect?
Answer
For this condition, first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms. It is recommended to use laser therapy or drug irrigation for regional treatment. If the throat pain is severe, consider giving painkillers. For fever management, choose cooling methods according to body temperature; physical cooling can be performed if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if it exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are common treatment methods. If pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment. During treatment, pay attention to adequate nutrition, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
