Question
My child is 6 years old and has a sore throat, severe cough, and low fever. How should I treat their tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment should follow medical advice. Administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, and consider tonsil crypt irrigation, injections, and other treatments if necessary. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be given, and low fever can be reduced through physical cooling methods. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds from triggering another inflammation.
