Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as swallowing pain, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should effective treatment be carried out?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications should be used for treatment first. Additionally, regional spray medications or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, pain relievers can be administered to alleviate discomfort. Children with persistent fever should use antipyretics promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet, with liquid foods being the main choice.
