Question
Dear Baby, who is now 9 years old, has recently been feeling a sore throat with a slight cough, and has developed a persistent low fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, which can include local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication. Painkillers can alleviate sore throat symptoms, antipyretics can address fever, and in case of high fever, immediate medical attention is required. Surgery is applicable for recurrent inflammation episodes, and proper warmth should be maintained during treatment.
