Question
An 8-year-old child has recently been diagnosed with tonsillitis, accompanied by a sore throat, runny nose (with Bloodshot in the mucus), lips with a substance resembling milk blisters, persistent drooling, and a lack of interest in drinking milk. However, the child’s dinner intake was normal. The child has received an injection treatment and has been taking medication for three consecutive days, but the symptoms have not improved. What treatment should be administered for an 8-year-old child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
Based on the description, the child’s symptoms appear to be caused by a fever due to tonsillitis. It is recommended to continue giving the child anti-inflammatory medications and encourage them to drink plenty of water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider using fever-reducing medication. For children with severe tonsillitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor’s treatment recommendations, avoiding self-medication with unverified drugs to prevent exacerbating the condition.
