Question
What should be done when a child experiences pain, severe coughing, and low fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and the choice of medication can be based on the symptoms. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil deep washing or injection therapy. If the child has throat pain, consider administering painkillers while also reducing fever. Immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. If a child has recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Parents should take note and seek medical treatment early, while also paying attention to preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
