Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently been suffering from a severe sore throat and cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered first, along with regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsil crypts or regional drug injections. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used. For fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible in case of high fever. If the condition recurs, surgical treatment may also be an option. During treatment, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
