Question
A 10-year-old boy is suffering from tonsillitis accompanied by a high fever. Initial symptoms include throat pain and mild cough. How should one treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis typically involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils may be considered to enhance efficacy. Painkillers can be administered if the child’s throat pain is severe. Appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken during fever; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For children with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, encourage children to engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
