Question
Our 2-year-old son is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and high fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections. For throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms, and antipyretics should be used promptly if there is a persistent fever. If the condition persists, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, properly arranging the child’s diet and rest schedule can help in a quicker recovery.
