Question
A 9-year-old boy, a primary school student, complaints of pain while swallowing, accompanied by mild cough and feverish symptoms, and has a poor mental state. How should effective treatment be administered for children’s tonsillitis and fever?
Answer
For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, one can first consider administering anti-inflammatory medication, combined with local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be used. For fever management, appropriate antipyretic measures should be chosen based on the temperature level; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrence. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
