Question
How to treat fever caused by tonsillitis in children
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics that are sensitive to the causative bacteria, and regional treatments can also be considered, such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts and administering medications by injection. If sore throat is the primary symptom, analgesics can be considered. For fever, treatment should be based on the body temperature. Physical cooling methods can be used if the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and antipyretic medication can be taken orally if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered, and it is important for the child to rest sufficiently and consume enough fruits and vegetables.
