Question
A 5-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent low fever, diagnosed as tonsillitis. What treatment should be administered?
Answer
The usual treatment for tonsillitis is to prescribe anti-inflammatory medication as directed by a doctor. In more severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy can be combined. When throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to alleviate discomfort. In the case of persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should take this disease seriously, take their child to a doctor early on, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in daily life.
