Question
A 9-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat tonsillitis with high fever in children for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Treating tonsillitis in children can involve oral anti-inflammatory medications, local cleaning or sprays, or even regional injections, which generally yield good results. If the throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms and consider physical cooling (cooling) methods. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is advised. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, consider surgical treatment. Additionally, pay attention to providing a light diet and increasing nutritional supplements to aid in a quick recovery.
