Question
My son is 6 years old and has started experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
If a child is suffering from pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional methods such as tonsil irrigation or medication injections. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used discretionarily. For fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, professional medical assistance should be sought. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrent inflammation. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest.
