Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever. How should I treat her for tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used initially, along with local treatments such as gargling and topical medications. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, fever-reducing medication or medical consultation can be used. In cases of recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest.
