Question
A five-month-old boy has a sore throat and hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatment such as tonsil washing or injection of medication can be considered. For those with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic medication is advised. If the condition is severe or there are complications, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy two weeks later. At the same time, arrange for a light diet, increase nutritional supplements, and help recover quickly.
