Question
My child is 7 years old and has a sore throat, slight cough, and now a persistent high fever. What are the treatment methods for tonsillitis-induced high fever?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents use anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, while also conducting local treatments such as gargling or topical medication applications to enhance efficacy. For sore throat, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be used for fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For severe or recurrent cases, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, with a focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
