Question
A baby boy, just over 9 months old, experiences throat pain when speaking, difficulty swallowing, and a persistent fever. How should one handle the high fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the primary consideration is antibiotic treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil cleaning or regional injections may be considered. When throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a fever, consider fever reduction measures. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to medication, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents are advised to pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment as early as possible, while also paying attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
