Question
A 5-year-old boy has recently started experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. How should tonsillitis be treated in children for better effectiveness?
Answer
For effective treatment of tonsillitis, it is suggested to opt for medication with anti-inflammatory properties under a doctor’s supervision, considering regional treatments such as tonsil crypt cleaning or injection therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms; if the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to medication, if the child experiences recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may also be considered. Moreover, parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent recurrence.
