Question
A boy, already 1 year old, initially felt pain when swallowing water and noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are one of the more commonly used methods for treating tonsillitis and can be selected appropriately. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child has a sore throat, painkillers can be given as needed. For persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be applied promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider physical cooling methods. Moreover, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. At the same time, pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
