Question
A boy, aged 1, is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should one handle the child’s tonsillitis and low fever?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered for treatment, along with local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to reinforce the effect. Painkillers can be used for obvious throat pain, and if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Meanwhile, pay attention to arranging light meals, increasing nutrition, and promoting recovery.
