Question
How should one check for a child with a sore throat and fever, and a swollen tonsil?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from acute tonsillitis, accompanied by fever and a swollen tonsil. After administering medication, it is recommended to monitor the child’s symptom changes and be aware of any other symptoms, such as headache, runny nose, or nasal congestion. If symptoms do not improve or worsen, immediate medical attention should be sought for routine blood tests, C-reactive protein tests, and other diagnostic procedures to determine the type of infection and to receive appropriate anti-infection treatment. Maintain adequate fluid intake and seek medical attention promptly when necessary.
