Question
A boy, who is 2 years old, has recently started feeling a sore throat, with a hoarse voice when speaking, accompanied by a slight fever. Inquiry: How should one treat high fever in children with tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is to use appropriate antibiotic medications, while also combining local treatment methods such as tonsil washing and injection drugs. If the symptoms of throat pain are severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If there is a persistent fever, it is necessary to use antipyretic drugs. When the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is advisable to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
