Question

A two-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by persistent high fever. How should one treat the high fever caused by tonsillitis to achieve good results?

Answer

For high fever caused by tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. At the same time, consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct tonsil injection of medication to enhance efficacy. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers may be given as necessary. For the accompanying fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not subside, seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes sufficient vegetables and fruits.
