Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school. He initially had a sore throat and severe cough, followed by persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat the tonsillitis and low fever in children to achieve better results?
Answer
During treatment, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered based on the child’s symptoms, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used, and physical cooling methods can be employed simultaneously. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, so inflammation needs to be controlled, and surgery cannot be ruled out. During the treatment process, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid fatigue.
