Question
My son is 1 year old and has recently developed a hoarse voice, throat pain, and a low-grade fever. What are the treatment methods for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be chosen, along with regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and direct drug injection. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretic medication can be taken orally when feverish. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child frequently suffers from inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is necessary to supplement nutrition, eat light meals, ensure adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
