Question
A baby boy just turned seven months old and feels a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by coughing and fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
The main clinical treatments for pediatric tonsillitis currently include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, which can be selected based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil washing, regional injections, and laser therapy can be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, it is important to use antipyretic medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling (cooling) methods can be considered. Surgery is also one of the feasible options for children with recurrent episodes, and during treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
