Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing discomfort when drinking water due to a sore throat. He also has severe coughing and fever, leading to a lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Regional cleaning or spraying medication can also be considered, and even injecting appropriate medication into the tonsils may be effective. These treatment methods have proven to be beneficial. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used. When fever persists, it is important to use fever-reducing medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. In addition to medication, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is also important to pay attention to giving the child a light diet and increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quicker recovery.
