Question
Dear parents, my daughter is 7 months old. She has a slight sore throat and severe coughing, and she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat the fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The main methods and medications for treating pediatric tonsillitis currently include antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the condition. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Painkillers can also be given when the child’s throat pain is severe. If there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, so if similar symptoms occur, consider surgical treatment. During treatment, make sure to provide your child with adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
