Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, and it was found that his coughing was also quite severe, and he had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How can one effectively treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the child still has a fever, it should be treated accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
