Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture to achieve effective results. Regional treatment may consider laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents may consider giving painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medication may be given as needed, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to aid in an early recovery.
