Question
A five-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent high fever,Suspected tonsillitis and redness and swelling. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
When treating a child’s tonsillitis, the first step should be bacterial culture to select the appropriate antibiotic. Regional treatments can include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, oral fever-reducing medication can be tried first; if symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent cases, surgical treatment is also an option. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes enough vegetables and fruits.
