3Monitor for signs of agranulocytosis and infection✓ 정답

Monitoring for agranulocytosis is critical for children on methimazole, as this life-threatening side effect requires immediate intervention. Other interventions (increased activity, low-calorie diet, fluid restriction) are not priority or appropriate.
