Question
The baby girl is only 8 months old and is suffering from a sore throat, pain when drinking, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should we treat the child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture for better effectiveness. In terms of regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretics is necessary. For low fevers below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be tried. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
