Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever, suspected tonsillitis . How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis can be guided by a physician to select anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be combined. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used; for persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be applied promptly. If the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical coolingcan be adopted. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the condition persists, surgery can be considered after inflammation control. After the condition improves, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
