Question
My son is 8 years old and has been complaining of a sore throat, and I’ve noticed that his coughing seems more severe, and he also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should one treat high fever in children with tonsillitis for effective results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. In more severe cases, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For those with recurrent inflammatory attacks, surgery may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
