Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat tonsillitis-induced fever in children?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, parents can consider giving the child anti-inflammatory medication, performing local rinses or spray treatments. Additionally, injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils may also be considered to enhance efficacy. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered; for fever symptoms, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents are urged to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as early as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
