Question
My son is 5 months old and has started to have a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has a low fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to choose suitable antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection of medication. For children with obvious sore throat, painkillers can be used. In case of persistent fever, apply antipyretic medication promptly. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling methods. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications, it is advisable to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, pay attention to giving the child a light diet, supplementing nutrition, and promoting early recovery.
