Question
A 4-year-old boy, initially experiencing a slight sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and he had a low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
The treatment of tonsillitis and high fever in children can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give them antipyretic medication or take them to the hospital immediately. If the medication is ineffective and the symptoms recur frequently, consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence.
