Question
My son is 7 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed his coughing seemed more severe. Additionally, he has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should we treat a high fever in a child with tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Treatment for children with tonsillitis can include sensitive antibiotic medications, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or regional drug injections. For children with throat pain, some painkillers can be considered; for those with fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms persist and do not alleviate, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered, and it is important to maintain health and adequate rest during the treatment period.
