Question
A 4-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should one treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be given to alleviate discomfort. In cases of persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be used or immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent episodes occur, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange for a reasonable diet and sleep habits to aid in the early recovery from the disease.
