Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing, noticed that his coughing seemed more severe, and has been slightly feverish. How should children with tonsillitis and low fever be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment for children with tonsillitis and low fever involves the use of antibiotics, with medication selection tailored to the specific condition. If symptoms are severe, supplementary regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections may be used. For throat pain, pain relievers can be used to alleviate discomfort. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medications can be taken. In addition to medication treatment, for children who frequently suffer from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be an option. During the treatment process, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
