Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat and a hoarse voice. At the same time, he has a persistent high fever. How should fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria. Additionally, it is recommended to consider laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation for regional treatment if the symptoms of pharyngalgia are severe. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital for medical attention. Besides medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also advisable to consider surgical treatment. Lastly, parents are encouraged to pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment for their children early on, as well as to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures.
