Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever. How should his tonsillitis and fever be treated for the best results?
Answer
Treatment should first involve symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs) based on the child’s symptoms. Regional treatment can include laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation. In cases where the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, some antipyretic medications can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. Lastly, parents are encouraged to pay attention to this condition, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
