Question
A 10-year-old boy, a primary school student, recently experienced sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever, diagnosed as tonsillitis. How should high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated to achieve good results?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is first considered to administer anti-inflammatory medications and combine local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injection. If the child experiences throat pain, a moderate amount of painkillers can be given. For the fever situation, antipyretic drugs can be used, but immediate medical attention should be sought during high fever. In addition, for cases with recurrent attacks, surgical treatment is also an option. During the treatment period, it is important to arrange for the child to have a light diet and to enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
