Question
How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis when they are crying and restless? A 5-year-old boy initially experienced a sore throat with slight coughing, now with a persistent high fever, what should be done?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered appropriately, along with local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to consolidate the treatment effect. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be given in moderation. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication should be used according to the situation. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. In everyday life, parents should pay attention to keeping their child warm and avoid colds that may lead to a recurrence of tonsillitis.
