Question

My 8-month-old male baby has recently been feeling a sore throat, with a hoarse voice, and is experiencing a persistent high fever. How should I treat the low fever in pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

It is recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and consider regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If there is throat pain, painkillers may be given as appropriate. Use antipyretic medication promptly for persistent high fever; physical cooling can be considered for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees. If the condition is severe or recurrent, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
