Question
A 12-year-old boy, starting elementary school, has been experiencing pain in his throat while speaking and severe coughing. Now he has a persistent high fever. What is the treatment for high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can be adopted. If there is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered. If there is also a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, attention should be given to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplements to aid the child’s recovery.
