Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, tonsillitis . How should one effectively treat infants and young children with tonsillitis accompanied by low fever?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be considered. In terms of regional treatment, it is recommended to use laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. When fever persists, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits.
