Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a persistent high fever. How should one effectively treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken, as well as regional rinsing or spraying, or even the injection of appropriate medication within the tonsils, all of which have good therapeutic effects. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered appropriately; for fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. If symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur; if this happens frequently, surgical treatment can be considered after inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
