Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat when speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. How should crying and distressed infants with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are currently the most common method for treating tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections can also be used. Painkillers can be administered if necessary, and physical cooling methods can be used if there is a low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible, and pay attention to reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to promote recovery from the disease.
