Question
My son is 9 years old and has been experiencing a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and persistent fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to systemic treatment, you can also choose localized treatments to enhance the efficacy, such as tonsil washing and direct injection of medication. In cases of sore throat, you can also give the child some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, make sure to give the child sufficient nutrition, maintain a light diet, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
