Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been experiencing a sore throat recently, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How can one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for the child to take, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and regional injection of medications can be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. If the child has a fever, efforts should be made to reduce the temperature appropriately; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication treatment, if the condition recurs frequently, parents may consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
