Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he often has a fever. I would like to ask how to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis.
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, or regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can be performed. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used, and physical cooling(cooling) can be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently gets sick, surgery can be considered after treatment. It is also important to provide light and easy-to-digest food and supplement nutrition to aid in recovery.
