Question
A 12-year-old boy, a primary school student, recently experienced sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, the first-line treatment is typically antibiotics, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional injections of medication can also be considered. If the child primarily exhibits throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve symptoms. Some children may have a fever along with the condition, and oral antipyretics can be taken. If there is no improvement, medical attention is necessary. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to related preventive and health care measures.
