Question
A 7-year-old boy, starting elementary school, felt a sore throat when speaking at first, and noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he had a bit of a fever and lacked energy. How should one treat a high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be given as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer some fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease and take their child for treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to do well in related preventive and health care work.
