Question
The boy is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight pain in his throat, and he noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, it seemed that he had a low-grade fever that never went away. How should children with tonsillitis and high fever be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and if the condition is more severe, you can also combine it with some regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. At the same time, physical cooling can be used for low-grade fever, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a feasible method, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
