Question
Dear Baby, 5 years old, has recently been feeling a sore throat, with difficulty swallowing, and has a persistent high fever. How should one treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such conditions, antibiotics can be administered to the child. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation, such as providing painkillers for throat pain and antipyretics for fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Note that tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During this period, it is recommended to consume liquid foods and keep meals light and simple.
