Question
Based on the provided situation, what should be done if a child has tonsillitis and hasn’t eaten anything for three days?
Answer
From the symptoms described, it’s likely that the child’s lack of appetite is due to tonsillitis. It’s recommended to take the child to a pediatric hospital for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid seeking treatment in random clinics. First, a blood test should be conducted on the child and relevant examinations should be carried out based on the results, with targeted treatment provided. If the child is unable to take medication, intravenous treatment can be considered. Antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral drugs can also be options for treatment. Additionally, encouraging the child to drink warm water helps maintain body hydration.
