Question
What are the recommendations for handling a child’s fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Under the guidance of a doctor, choosing the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for the child can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can also be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered; if there is still a fever, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if the fever persists, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis often recurs; if similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
