Question
Dear parents, my daughter is currently 3 years old. She has just started feeling a sore throat, pain when drinking water, severe coughing, and low-grade fever. How should we treat a young child with tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, consider using antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections, and painkillers as needed. For fever, antipyretics can be taken, and it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the fever is high. If there are recurrent attacks, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is advisable to eat a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
