Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough, and now has a persistent high fever. How should infants’ and young children’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with the choice of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture, yielding good results. In cases where the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. If the child’s throat is particularly painful, analgesic drugs can be administered. If the child has a slight fever, it is advisable to consider antipyretic measures. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise with the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
