Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. What treatment should be administered?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be considered first, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. If there is a persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be used or immediate medical attention sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to promote an early recovery from the illness.
