Question
Does pediatric tonsillitis cause high fever?
Answer
Children with tonsillitis are prone to have recurring dips in body temperature. It is important to closely monitor their temperature. When the temperature falls below 38.5 degrees Celsius, decide whether to administer oral fever-reducing medication or use a rectal fever-reducing suppository. At the same time, it is also necessary to use medications for clearing heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, and anti-inflammatory treatment for the tonsillitis. During the treatment period, make sure to give the child plenty of water to drink and be cautious about not feeding them spicy, irritating, overly sweet, or salty foods.
