Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been feeling a sore throat, with more severe coughing, and a persistent fever. How can one effectively treat the fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment, accompanied by regional treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication to consolidate the effects. If the main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered to alleviate the symptoms; if there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment can be considered, and good dietary hygiene and adequate rest should be maintained during the treatment period.
