Question
A nine-month-old male infant initially showed symptoms of throat pain, discomfort while drinking, along with a slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s high fever caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating a child’s tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture. For regional treatment, it is recommended to use laser therapy or medication irrigation. If severe throat pain is present, analgesics can be administered in moderation. For children with persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretic medication can be considered. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should pay close attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
