Question
A nine-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever,suspected tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
The treatment of tonsillitis usually involves antibiotics, with appropriate medication chosen based on the condition. Additionally, regional rinsing or spray treatments, as well as intra-tonsillar injections of symptomatic medication, can effectively alleviate symptoms. If the pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort. During a persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be used or immediate medical attention sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, a light diet and enhanced nutrition should be provided to promote recovery.
