What to Do When a Child Has tonsillitis?

Question

A 12-year-old boy, attending elementary school, has recently been experiencing hoarseness, a slight cough, and a persistent slight rise in body temperature. What should be done about his tonsillitis?

Answer

In such cases, it is advisable to administer appropriate antibiotics to the child, conduct regional treatments such as tonsil washing and internal injections, and provide painkillers if necessary. If fever is present, oral antipyretics can be taken; if the symptoms cannot be alleviated, medical attention is required. If the condition recurs frequently over a long period, consider surgical treatment to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
