Question
A 9-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat and a slight cough, accompanied by a mild fever that persists. How should high fever in pediatric tonsillitis be treated in this situation?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory drugs can be used. Regional treatment methods include tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered. For fever, antipyretics can be used, and if the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis occurs repeatedly or complications have developed, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy surgery two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, the child should ensure adequate rest and consume plenty of vegetables and fruits.
