Question
A 3-year-old boy has a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever, and is feeling unwell. How should one treat the fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for a child’s tonsillitis fever can include the use of antibiotics, regional treatments (such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, or laser therapy). For sore throat symptoms, analgesics can be used in moderation to relieve pain; if fever occurs, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child has frequent acute attacks or has complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Parents should pay attention to this disease, bring their child to a doctor early for treatment, and also do well in prevention and health care.
