Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, reports throat pain accompanied by severe coughing and fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For such conditions, antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, and regional therapy can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil lavage and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the throat pain is severe, analgesics can be considered. If fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken; it is recommended to seek medical attention early for patients with high fever. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
