Question
A 5-year-old boy has a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever that does not subside. How should fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and consider regional treatments such as rinsing or regional medication to enhance efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts to relieve discomfort. Some children may have fever as well, in which case oral antipyretics can be taken. If the fever persists despite medication, it is advisable to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents are advised to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work.
