Question
A 9-year-old boy has recently been experiencing sore throat, discomfort when drinking water, accompanied by a slight cough. Now he has a high fever that cannot be reduced. How to treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Consider administering antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatment can be considered, such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If fever persists, consider fever reduction; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment, while maintaining a light diet, supplementing nutrition, and promoting recovery.
