Question
Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 6 years old. She has just started to feel a bit of pain in her throat, and I’ve noticed that her coughing has become more severe. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. What should be the best treatment for a child with tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it’s advisable to first administer symptomatic antibiotic medication. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered, and painkillers can be given for throat pain. If there’s also a fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fevers, it’s recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, and after the illness is controlled, you might consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, it’s important to ensure your child stays warm and to avoid catching a cold that could worsen the symptoms.
