Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low fever symptoms, tonsillitis. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis typically involves antibiotic medications, which can be chosen according to the doctor’s prescription. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medicine can be performed to enhance efficacy. If the child feels throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. For low fever, it is recommended to take physical cooling measures. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with light meals and to enhance nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
