Question

A week ago, the child was diagnosed with acute tonsillitis, had a low-grade fever, and was treated with three days of penicillin, bacterial dissolution tablets, and cooling and detoxifying medicine. Now, the child has a low-grade fever again, with a hoarse throat during sleep, suggesting another inflammation. How should high fever due to tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

If there is a recurrence of high fever, timely administration of antipyretic medications is necessary. Treatment should be determined based on the body temperature, using symptomatic medications, nimesulide, and other antipyretics. Pay attention to drinking plenty of hot water to promote body temperature rise and thoroughly recover from the effects of tonsillitis. We should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid medical consultation. If tonsillitis does not improve despite treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
