Question
A seven-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever symptoms, diagnosed as tonsillitis. How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis usually involves administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor. For more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy may be combined. For severe throat pain, a moderate amount of pain reliever can be used. If fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eats a light diet, and gets plenty of rest to avoid overexertion.
