Question
A 5-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent fever. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should one effectively treat the high fever caused by this condition?
Answer
To treat high fever caused by tonsillitis, it is generally recommended to administer children’s anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor, and regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injections, or laser therapy. If the child has throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be given. If the fever persists and does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
