Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing water, and it was found that he also had a slight cough and seemed to have a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis and fever effectively?
Answer
Generally, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, it is effective to give the child some antibiotics according to the symptoms. In addition, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. These methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good hygiene in diet and ensuring adequate rest.
