Question
My 9-year-old son has a sore throat, slight cough, and is running a persistent fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to give the child medication as prescribed by the doctor, which may include regional treatments such as tonsil cone irrigation and injection drugs. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be used promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be applied. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence. If the condition is similar and the inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
