Question
A 6-year-old boy has a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, with a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For such conditions, administer symptomatic antibiotics to the child, perform regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsils, and if there are symptoms of throat pain, use painkillers and appropriate dosage to reduce fever. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is one of the treatment methods, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
