Question

My daughter, currently 7 years old, has just started to feel a sore throat, with severe coughing and a slight fever. She asks: How should children with tonsillitis and fever be treated?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on symptoms, along with regional treatment or injections into the tonsils. Painkillers and fever reducers may also be given as needed. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. During treatment, it is crucial to avoid catching a cold, and surgery may be considered as a preventive measure against recurrence.
