Question
A 6-year-old boy has a slight sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has a fever with a lack of energy. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis, and parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications can be combined. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining hygienic eating habits and adequate rest.
