Question
A 6-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and has a low-grade fever. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
For tonsillitis, it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection medication can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be suggested; for mild fever, antipyretic drugs can be considered. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur. If the inflammation is controlled, surgery may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, preferably with liquid foods, to reduce throat irritation. Thank you for your question.
