Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has been feeling a sore throat with a slight cough recently, and now he has a high fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment methods include using symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, intramuscular injections, and laser therapy; if the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered, and antipyretics should be used promptly if there is a persistent fever; if the symptoms persist, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
