Question
An 11-year-old boy, attending elementary school, is mainly complaining of pain while swallowing, accompanied by severe coughing, and a persistent low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should one treat high fever caused by children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis usually involves appropriate anti-inflammatory medication and may include regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injection. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be administered. For fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes sufficient vegetables and fruits.
