Question
A 5-year-old boy has a slight sore throat at first, and it seems that his coughing is more severe. Additionally, he has a persistent high fever. How should infants and toddlers with high fever due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking medication, regional treatments such as rinsing the throat or direct application of medication can also be performed to consolidate the efficacy of treatment. If necessary, appropriate painkillers can be administered to alleviate throat pain, and physical coolingmethods can be used to lower body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
