Question

A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school. He started with a sore throat, then developed a severe cough and a slight fever, feeling lack of energy. How to effectively treat severe fever in children with tonsillitis?

Answer

To treat pediatric tonsillitis, it’s first recommended to have the child take anti-inflammatory medication and undergo some localized treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. If there is also a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents should consult with a doctor about the possibility of surgical treatment. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and eating more vegetables and fruits can help restore health.
