Question
How to treat a child with tonsillitis and fever? The child is an 8-year-old boy in elementary school, experiencing throat pain, slight coughing, and persistent fever.
Answer
The common treatment methods for tonsillitis include the use of antibiotic medications, as well as regional treatments such as rinsing, drug injections, or laser therapy. Patients can take painkillers in appropriate amounts to relieve throat pain. If there is a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be used. Physical cooling methods can be considered if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. After recovery, it is recommended to increase physical activity and boost immunity to prevent recurrence.
