Question
How should I handle a three-year-old child’s fever?
Answer
This could be due to tonsillitis, and it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. Typically, nebulizer inhalation therapy is required, and it may also involve intravenous administration of antibiotics, steroids, antihistamines, and antiviral drugs. During the treatment, it is important to avoid giving the child spicy, cold, or other irritating foods. If conservative treatment is ineffective, consideration may need to be given to tonsillectomy surgery.
