Patient's question:
The child has had tonsillitis for the past two days, which has led to a fever. How should I handle tonsillar abscess and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Children with purulent tonsillitis may develop a fever. If their general condition, such as mental state, appetite, and deep sleep, is relatively good, they can be given oral antipyretic and heat-clearing and detoxifying medications at home. In necessary cases, additional anti-inflammatory medications may be required, such as amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium, cefaclor, or cefixime, etc. The specific dosage and usage of these medications should be determined according to medical advice. It is important to pay attention to personal living habits and maintain a healthy diet.
