Question
The boy is 5 years old and initially complained of pain when swallowing. Upon observation, it seems he has difficulty swallowing and has been slightly feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and high fever be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medication to the child. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications can be considered as well. If the pain in the throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For fever symptoms, children can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent symptoms from worsening.
