Question
My daughter is 1 year old. Recently, she has started to have a hoarse voice, occasional mild cough, and a persistent fever. How should one treat high fever caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity, and regional drug injections. It is recommended to give painkillers in appropriate doses based on the symptoms. If there is a persistent fever, consider using fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, surgery is a method of treating recurrent episodes of tonsillitis. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm to prevent colds that may trigger a recurrence of inflammation.
