Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
For treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child has fever symptoms, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In serious cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe inflammations or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. Finally, parents are advised to pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
