Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low fever. How should children’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used. In more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injections can be considered. For symptoms primarily manifested as sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If there is persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. During treatment, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
