Question
My 2-year-old son is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should I handle my child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
For such diseases, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition, surgery is an option for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoiding colds that may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
