Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been complaining of a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil cleaning and injection medications. If the throat pain is very severe, painkillers may be considered; at the same time, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for patients with high fever. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
