Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low-grade fever. How should I manage the symptoms of tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, appropriate use of antibiotics can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsil washing or injection medications. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. For mild fever, it is necessary to cool down as needed, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the condition occurs frequently, surgery can be considered after the condition stabilizes. It is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
