Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, for children with tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered. Additionally, regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy may also be options. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain reliever to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment process, be sure to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
