Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. He recently developed a sore throat, mild cough, and low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also perform local rinsing or spraying, and injections of symptomatic medication can be administered to the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. For throat pain, you can also give your child painkillers. If your child has a fever, you can administer medication with fever-reducing properties, but in severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure your child stays warm and to avoid exacerbating symptoms by catching a cold.
