Question
A 2-year-old boy has recently reported a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and fever, lacking in energy. How should one handle fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and in severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications. For children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used, and if there is a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. During this time, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
