Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by a mild cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis crying syndrome be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. Regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections of medication can also be considered. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fevers. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Pay attention to a light diet during the treatment period, and consume mainly liquid foods.
