Question
My daughter is 4 years old and has been coughing and has a slight fever. How can I treat the high fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are a common treatment for tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as tonsillectomy or injection therapy can also be considered to enhance efficacy. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used; for persistent high fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. After the condition improves, encourage your child to engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
