Question
A six-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents should select the appropriate medication based on the physician’s advice. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be administered. In case of persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly; physical cooling methods can be employed if the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition persists, surgery can be considered after inflammation control. At the same time, attention should be paid to adjusting the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
