Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of a sore throat, noticed a hoarse voice during speaking, and it seemed like the low fever never went away. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. If the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For symptoms primarily characterized by throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. Besides these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery as a treatment option. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
