Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school. Initially, he had a sore throat with a slight cough and a bit of fever, along with a lack of energy. How should one diagnose and treat the tonsillitis symptoms in a child?
Answer
For children diagnosed with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil irrigation, intralesional injections of medication, or laser therapy. Painkillers may be used for sore throat relief. If the child still has a fever, consider fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to alleviate symptoms.
