Question
How should a 6-year-old boy with a sore throat, hoarseness, and low fever be treated?
Answer
For tonsillitis, it is first important to select the appropriate antibiotic for symptomatic treatment. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as local rinsing and injection medications can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medications should be chosen accordingly; if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging the child’s diet and rest properly to help the disease recover sooner.
