Question

How should one treat fever caused by purulent tonsillitis in children?

Answer

When a child’s tonsillitis leads to fever, the best approach is to immediately start intravenous antibiotics and medications for cooling and detoxification. Once the symptoms significantly improve, oral medications can be switched to maintain treatment for a period of time, and methods such as acupoint paste application, acupuncture, or massage can also be used in conjunction. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the child drinks plenty of water, stays warm, and avoids cold exposure.
