Question
A boy, who is already 1 year old, has recently been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, frequent coughing, high fever, and a lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
Common treatments for tonsillitis include the use of antibiotics, oral pain relievers to alleviate pain, and fever-reducing medications if necessary. Additionally, regional sprays or laser therapy can be considered, and if the fever persists, it should be addressed promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used to lower body temperature. Surgery is a viable option for children with recurrent episodes, and maintaining a reasonable diet and sleep habits also aids in recovery.
