Question
A one-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance, and regional therapy options such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections can be considered. For children with significant throat pain, analgesics can be used to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretic medication should be used; physical cooling measures can be taken if the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are currently common in the treatment of tonsillitis, and for children with recurrent attacks, surgical treatment is also a viable option. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
