Patient's question:
Boy, who is already 7 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Additionally, he had been running a low fever for a while. Question: How should a child with tonsillitis and low fever be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be given appropriately. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given appropriately. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
