Question
A 9-year-old boy has recently been experiencing throat pain and severe coughing, accompanied by a persistent fever. He inquires about how to treat high fever in children with tonsillitis.
Answer
Treatment can include symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms, along with regional irrigation or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils for effective relief. For throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical methods can be employed to lower body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
