Question
A 3-year-old boy initially experienced throat pain accompanied by a slight cough, along with a mild fever and lack of energy. How should one treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, it is first important to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and to perform regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy. In cases of severe throat pain, some painkillers may be appropriately used; if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken, and in severe cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition stabilizes, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
