Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and fever symptoms, tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat it to alleviate the symptoms?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis typically includes the use of antibiotics, which can be selected according to medical advice. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can also be considered. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgery is an option. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and is encouraged to consume vegetables and fruits.
