Question
An 11-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Common treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include administering anti-inflammatory medications, such as antibiotics, and considering regional treatments like tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications. For throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature, which may include physical cooling or oral fever-reducing medication. Surgical treatment is appropriate for recurrent episodes. During this period, ensure adequate rest and balanced diet.
