Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 4 years old and has recently been complaining of a sore throat, severe cough, and a slight fever. What is the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis-induced fever?
Answer
For such cases, consider administering appropriate antibiotic treatment and regional therapy, such as rinsing or injecting medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can be considered when the child experiences severe throat pain. If there is a fever, choose an appropriate cooling method based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider taking oral fever-reducing medication. If the condition occurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrence. It is recommended that parents pay attention to and seek medical treatment as soon as possible, while also focusing on preventive measures.
