Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever, tonsillitis. How should he be treated to achieve good results?
Answer
To treat the high fever caused by tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatments can include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling measures can be taken. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgery is suggested. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid colds to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
