Question
A two-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever, tonsillitis Redness. How should it be treated?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections. If the child has significant throat pain, painkillers can be used. When dealing with fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be considered if the temperature is higher. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds that could lead to a recurrence of tonsillitis.
