Question
What medication should a child take for tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
It is recommended to use antibiotics, with penicillin being the most effective. However, a skin test must be conducted before using penicillin to avoid allergic reactions. For those allergic to penicillin, alternatives such as erythromycin and lincomycin can be used for treatment. Depending on the severity of the inflammation, oral or intravenous administration can be chosen, along with fever-reducing medication for treatment.
