Question
A 3-year-old boy has recently been experiencing a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
It is recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor. Consider regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage or tonsil injections. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition occurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment control. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
