Question
An 8-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and consider using laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation for localized treatment. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. In cases of persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the physician’s advice. During the treatment period, arrange for light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
