Question
A 6-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected tonsillitis . How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis with low-grade fever, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. Regional treatments such as medication sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the pain is severe, analgesics can be administered. During fever, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgery is an option. During the treatment period, a light diet is advised, with a focus on liquid foods.
