Question
A 9-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat while speaking, severe coughing, a slight fever, and lacks energy. What should be done if a child has a high fever with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil washing, internal medication injections, and laser therapy. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be appropriately administered to alleviate the fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs frequently, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is advisable for parents to take the disease seriously, bring their child for early medical treatment, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
