Question
What is the best way to treat a child with tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, some antibiotics can be considered for treatment, which are usually quite effective. Additionally, regional treatment methods can be combined, such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts, administering injections to the tonsils, and other methods are also good options. If the child has symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If fever occurs, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily; if the condition is similar, surgery can be considered after treatment if the condition is controlled. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring enough rest time.
