Question
My child is 7 years old and has been experiencing a sore throat, hoarse voice, and now a persistent high fever. What should I do if my child has tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be prescribed for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection of medication may be performed. For oral pain, analgesics can be used. During fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not improve, please seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsil removal surgery two weeks later, while also paying attention to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to promote recovery.
