Question
My three-year-old son is experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis with a high fever. What should be done for treatment?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used, along with regional treatment methods such as irrigation and injection; for children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and physical cooling measures can be taken if there is slight fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
