Question
A 9-year-old boy has a slight sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated effectively?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is advisable to administer symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child and also perform some localized treatments, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the treatment effect. For throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child; if the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
