Question
My son is 3 years old. Recently, he has started to feel a sore throat and difficulty drinking water. He is also experiencing severe coughing and high fever. How should high fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be suggested to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a high fever, it should be reduced accordingly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes, during which the child should rest sufficiently and consume plenty of vegetables and fruits.
