Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, slight cough, and fever with a lack of energy. How should one treat the high fever associated with pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the child’s symptoms, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered as a first step, along with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation, medication injections, or laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. If symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs, surgical treatment may be considered to prevent future episodes. During treatment, it is crucial to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
