Question
A 7-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, fever, and lack of energy, suffering from tonsillitis and swelling. How should one effectively treat these symptoms?
Answer
To treat children’s tonsillitis and swelling, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medications and adopting regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. For fever, medications with antipyretic effects should be administered. In case of severe symptoms, immediate medical assistance should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, early surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding colds that could exacerbate symptoms.
