Question
A 9-month-old boy was found to have a sore throat while speaking and severe coughing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Children with tonsillitis can be treated symptomatically with anti-inflammatory medications, combined with regional treatments to enhance efficacy, including pus pocket irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. For persistent fever, fever reducers can be used or the child should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. If children frequently experience similar conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes. It is recommended that parents pay attention to the disease, take their children to the doctor early, and pay attention to prevention and health care work.
