Question
A 9-year-old boy has recently been experiencing severe sore throat, cough, and persistent fever. How should we treat his tonsillitis symptoms?
Answer
Children with tonsillitis can generally be treated with antibiotics, and can also be supplemented with regional treatments such as tonsil purification or drug injections. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms; if there is fever, the method of fever reduction can be chosen based on body temperature. In cases of recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be an option. During the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a light diet. For other symptoms or questions, please consult a doctor.
