Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with low fever be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, you can choose sensitive antibiotic medications based on the results of bacterial culture. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection drugs can be combined. If the throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. For low fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and in serious cases, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
