Question
A 7-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain, hoarseness, and feverish discomfort. He is asking about the treatment for high fever in children with tonsillitis.
Answer
Parents are advised to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to administer to their child to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For children primarily presenting with throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve pain, while also appropriately cooling the body temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
