Question
An eight-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should such tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. At the same time, regional treatments can be considered to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct tonsil injection of medication. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment is suggested. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor in a timely manner, and do their best to prevent and maintain health in daily life.
