Question
My 4-year-old son has symptoms of sore throat, cough, and fever. How should I treat him?
Answer
When treating fever caused by pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be used, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection drugs. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve the discomfort, and antipyretics can be taken to manage the fever. If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the symptoms recur frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
