Question
My 5-year-old daughter is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should I treat her tonsillitis with high fever?
Answer
When treating this condition, consider using symptomatic antibiotic medications, performing regional rinses or sprays, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, painkillers can be administered as needed. Choose cooling methods based on body temperature; physical cooling can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Regular surgery may be an option, and it is also recommended to feed the child light and nutritious food to promote recovery.
