Question
A boy, already 1 year old, has recently started experiencing a sore throat and finds drinking painful. He also has a persistent cough and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with high fever be treated to achieve better results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections can also be considered. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give the child fever-reducing medicine or take them to the hospital immediately. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, while treating the child, it is also important to provide a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help the child recover sooner.
