Question
A 12-year-old boy, a primary school student, initially felt a sore throat accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat crying caused by children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The usual recommendation for treating children’s tonsillitis is to follow medical advice and administer anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, can also be performed to enhance efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, a moderate dose of painkillers may be given. For fever, the choice of cooling method should be based on body temperature: below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medicine can be taken. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their child to the doctor as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
