Question
A six-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, slight cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected tonsillitis . How should he be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, it is first advisable to administer anti-inflammatory medication and complement this with regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance efficacy. If severe throat pain is present, painkillers can be used in moderation; for low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent episodes occur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents should take this disease seriously, bring their child to a doctor in a timely manner, and implement preventive and health care measures in daily life.
