Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, accompanied by a slight cough. Now, he has a persistent high fever. How should one treat the child’s tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or even injections of symptomatic medication, which can be effective. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Parents are advised to take the disease seriously, seek medical treatment promptly, and pay attention to related preventive and health care measures.
