Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, is experiencing pain in his throat, hoarseness, and a persistent high fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis, and regional treatment methods such as lavage of crypts or regional injections can also be considered. Appropriate painkillers should be administered to relieve pain, and antipyretics should be used promptly to control fever. Surgical treatment is suitable for children with recurrent episodes, and attention should also be paid to reasonable diet and rest arrangements to aid recovery.
