Treatment Methods for Children with Tonsillitis and High Fever

If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. In cases where the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be given. For low-grade fever, physical cooling can be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also ensure that their child is well-warmed to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
