Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, experiences a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough, fever, and fatigue. Question: How should fever in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments, such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts or injecting medication into the tonsils, can also be considered. For throat pain, painkillers can be given. If fever symptoms are present, antipyretics can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention early if there is a high fever. In addition to medication, if the condition recurs frequently, parents may consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
