Question
A 3-year-old boy at home is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and persistent fever. How should one treat high fever in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For such conditions, consider administering antibiotics to the child, and also opt for regional treatments to enhance effectiveness, such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
