Question
A three-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever, diagnosed as tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat high fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. While taking medication, regional therapy such as rinsing or direct application of medication can be performed to enhance the efficacy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate discomfort. For fever symptoms, cooling measures should be provided as necessary, and immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. For cases that frequently recur, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes to avoid repeated episodes. Additionally, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to promote recovery.
