Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt pain when drinking water, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and seemed to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
For treatment, first provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Painkillers can also be given according to the child’s condition, especially when throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate pain. If the child still has a slight fever, consider appropriate antipyretic measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their children to medical treatment as soon as possible. In addition, pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in daily life.
