Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his cough seemed more severe. Additionally, he’s had a slight fever. What is the best way to treat high fever in a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, as well as local rinses or sprays. Injections of symptomatic medication can also be given to the tonsils, all of which are effective. If the child’s primary symptom is throat pain, parents are advised to consider giving some painkillers to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists and does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the situation occurs frequently, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, it’s important to pay attention to giving the child a light diet and supplementing nutrition to aid in a quick recovery.
