Question
My child has been experiencing persistent fever, diagnosed as tonsillitis, and it hasn’t improved even after taking medication. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis accompanied by persistent fever, immediate medical assistance should be sought for anti-inflammatory treatment. The diet should be light, and ensure adequate fluid intake to avoid malnutrition. Cephalosporin antibiotics can be used for inflammation, and soft foods should be provided to alleviate throat discomfort. If the fever persists, fever-reducing medication should be used. In addition to medication for tonsillitis, attention should also be paid to daily diet and lifestyle habits to promote recovery.
