Question
A boy, already 1 year old, has just started saying he has a sore throat, and it seems like his coughing is more severe. He also has a low-grade fever. How should I treat the high fever in a child with tonsillitis for the best effect?
Answer
Firstly, for the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory drugs. If the child’s condition is severe, consider regional treatments such as cleaning tonsil crypts and injecting medications. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretics can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical help for high fever. These are common treatment methods, but if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. During treatment, also pay attention to giving the child a light diet and strengthening nutritional supplements to aid in recovery as soon as possible.
