Question

A four-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and fever symptoms, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should it be treated?

Answer

If the child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications should be used for treatment. Additionally, regional treatment is also an important aspect, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be administered as needed. For fever, antipyretic medications can be taken, and immediate medical attention should be sought in severe cases. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
