Question
My 7-year-old daughter has a sore throat, cough, and fever. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
Children’s tonsillitis is primarily treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatments such as cleaning, injection, or laser therapy can also be considered. Appropriate painkillers should be administered. If the fever persists, fever-reducing drugs can be taken orally. If there are recurrent inflammations, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should ensure warmth to prevent a cold from triggering tonsillitis again.
