Question
How should a child with tonsillitis and a high fever be treated?
Answer
Generally, if a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as irrigation and laser therapy. For throat pain, painkillers can be used; for mild fever, physical cooling methods can be tried. However, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery can be considered to avoid recurrence, and adequate nutrition, light diet, sufficient rest, and avoiding fatigue are also required.
