Question
Baby girl, 3 months old, initially showed signs of pain while swallowing, accompanied by slight coughing. Now she has developed a high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on symptoms. Regional treatment may involve laser therapy or medication irrigation. Painkillers can be considered when the throat pain is severe. For persistent fever, timely administration of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the child frequently experiences this, surgery can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrent attacks. During treatment, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
