Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis . How should one treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance, or regional rinsing and spray treatments can be performed. Intra-tonsillar injection of symptomatic medication also has good therapeutic effects. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. During fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. Parents should ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
