Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis.How should he be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
Treatment for children’s tonsillitis can include symptomatic antibiotic medications, as well as regional rinsing or spraying, with intratonsillar injection of symptomatic drugs also being effective. If the child has throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Parents should ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds that may lead to a recurrence of tonsillitis.
