Question
A 2.5-year-old girl has a fever, vomiting, and phlegm in her throat. What precautions should be taken with tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended that in addition to giving the child gamma globulin to enhance resistance, daily care should also be strengthened. When the child sweats, make sure to dry it off promptly and adjust clothing as needed to avoid becoming too cold or too hot. Of course, if the child’s tonsils frequently become purulent and severely affect other organs, such as the kidneys, it may be necessary to undergo surgery to remove them.
