Question
My child is a 4-year-old boy. Initially, he said he had a sore throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely, and he also had a low fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis-related crying and fussiness?
Answer
When treating this condition, you can give your child antibiotic medication and also consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or intramuscular injections. If there is throat pain, you may consider painkillers, and for persistent fever, you can administer oral fever-reducing medication. If the condition is severe or there are complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is advisable to maintain a light diet with a focus on fluids.
