Question
A 13-year-old boy started feeling throat pain when swallowing, his voice became hoarse, and he had a high fever. How should tonsillitis be diagnosed in this situation?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer antibiotics and other anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be used to enhance the effect. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given to alleviate the pain. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent acute tonsillitis or cases with complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested that children engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
