Question
A 7-year-old boy, currently in elementary school, has recently been experiencing throat pain, which makes drinking water painful. He also has a cough and a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a high fever in infants and young children with tonsillitis for effective results?
Answer
Treatment suggestions include: administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor, considering regional radiation therapy or medication irrigation, using painkillers for children with severe throat pain, using fever-reducing medication promptly if the fever persists, employing physical cooling(temperature reduction) methods if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, and if the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
