Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been experiencing a sore throat when speaking and severe coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should we treat the high fever caused by infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications can be combined. Painkillers can be used according to the situation, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can alleviate the pain. If there is still a fever, consider giving antipyretics, but if the fever persists, seek medical attention immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. Finally, parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health care in their daily lives.
