Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, feels pain when swallowing water, has severe coughing, and has a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for the child’s condition. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. For children with severe throat pain, analgesics can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication can be administered or the child should be taken to the hospital immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
