Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, hoarseness, and persistent high fever symptoms,suspected tonsillitis. How should effective treatment be carried out?
Answer
For high fever caused by tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic treatment should be considered first, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be supplemented. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be administered to relieve discomfort. Physical cooling measures can be taken for low fevers. Immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition persists, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
