Question
A 4-year-old boy has recently been experiencing a sore throat, with a hoarse voice, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Currently, antibiotics are one of the commonly used methods for treating tonsillitis. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation may be considered. Painkillers should be used to relieve throat pain as needed, and antipyretics can be taken orally if there is a fever. If symptoms are severe, medical attention is required. Recurrent episodes may require surgical treatment. After recovery, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
