Question
The 9-year-old girl initially complained of throat pain when drinking water, noticed severe coughing, and had a low-grade fever. How should we treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is advisable to give the child some symptomatic antibiotics and also complement with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, which are quite effective. If the child primarily presents with throat pain, parents can consider giving some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and living habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
