Question
If a child has tonsillitis with fever, how should one treat it to achieve better results?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the primary consideration is to use antibiotics for symptomatic treatment. Regional rinsing or spray medications, or even injections into the tonsils, may also be considered. For severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve discomfort. If accompanied by a low-grade fever, physical cooling (temperature reduction) can be performed. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent nature, and if the condition recurs, surgery may be considered after controlling the inflammation. Parents are advised to pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
