Question
A 13-year-old boy, a primary school student, is experiencing throat pain, feeling uncomfortable when drinking water, and his voice sounds slightly hoarse. He also has symptoms of low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis accompanied by low fever be treated?
Answer
When treating such conditions, appropriate antibiotic medications can be administered to the child along with regional treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If the fever persists, fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. During the treatment period, it is advisable to arrange for a light diet and strengthen nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
