Question
The boy is 8 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat and his voice was hoarse. At the same time, he also had a fever and lacked energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever for the best effect?
Answer
Antibiotics and antipyretics are currently the main treatments for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose the appropriate treatment based on the symptoms. Local treatment and painkillers can be combined. When a child continues to have a fever, it is important to promptly apply antipyretics. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical thermoregulation can be considered. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered, and emphasis should be placed on prevention and healthcare.
