Question
A boy, already 1 year old, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and had a persistent low fever. How should children with tonsillitis be treated for better effects?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the commonly used treatments for tonsillitis and can be chosen according to the situation. It is recommended to adopt regional treatment, which may include laser therapy or medication rinsing. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, antipyretics can be used. If the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, surgical treatment may be an option. It is recommended that parents take the disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor early, and pay attention to related preventive health care work in their daily lives.
