Treatment for High Fever in Children with tonsillitis

Question

A 5-year-old girl has reported throat pain, accompanied by coughing and high fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be handled?

Answer

It is advised that parents administer a moderate dose of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s supervision to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional drug therapy or laser treatment may also be considered, along with pain relief medications. If the high fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be an option. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
