Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, severe cough, and persistent fever. How should one treat the fever caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
For such conditions, consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child. In severe cases, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil irrigation and injection of medications. Additionally, painkillers can be given to relieve throat pain. If the fever persists, consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and surgery may be considered after the condition is controlled. Moreover, it’s important to arrange a child’s reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in a quick recovery.
