Question
A 9-year-old boy has a sore throat, hoarse voice, and persistent high fever. How to treat the discomfort caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is to use antibiotic medications. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections may be combined. If there is throat pain, consider using painkillers and taking antipyretics as needed. If symptoms persist or recur, seek medical attention. In some cases, surgery may be an option. During the treatment process, ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid fatigue.
