Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis typically involves antibiotics, with appropriate medication chosen based on the condition. For local treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation can be considered, and painkillers may be administered as needed to relieve pain. If fever is present, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
