Question
A 12-year-old boy in elementary school has a sore throat and hoarseness, and has been running a fever. How should fever caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication are one of the main treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis. Consider systemic medication or regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, antipyretics can be taken. If the fever persists, it is recommended to seek medical attention early. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. After recovery, it is suggested that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
