Question
A 3-year-old boy has recently been experiencing throat pain when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How should one handle fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is recommended to administer antibiotics to the child and combine them with regional treatments, such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, it is suggested to give appropriate painkillers. If there is still a fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. Parents should pay close attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
