Question
My 7-year-old son has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and persistent high fever. How should I treat his inflammatory low fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis with inflammatory low fever, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with local treatments such as gargling or topical medication applications to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be used. For fever, antipyretic medication can be considered, but if the high fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery may be considered after treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
