Question
A four-month-old baby boy has severe sore throat, coughing, and persistent fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture to find sensitive medications. Regional treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsil irrigation and tonsil injections. If the baby has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered to help reduce body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In severe cases or with complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents are advised to pay attention to treatment and take precautions for preventive healthcare.
