Question
A 10-year-old boy, now in elementary school, complained of a sore throat at first and found that his cough was quite severe. He currently has a persistent high fever. How should tonsillitis with fever be treated in children?
Answer
In treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be appropriately used; for fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. It is recommended that those with high fever seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are common in treating tonsillitis, and surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and have sufficient rest time.
