Question
A six-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should one treat a child’s crying caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. At the same time, if feverish symptoms are present, fever-reducing medication should be given, and it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly in cases of high fever. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the disease is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
