Question
A 9-year-old boy, currently in elementary school, has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. How should tonsillitis with low fever be treated?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children can initially be treated with anti-inflammatory medication. If the condition is severe, consider regional treatments such as tonsil washes or injectable medications. If pain is severe, painkillers can be used as needed. If there is a fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If symptoms frequently occur, surgery may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. It is also important to pay attention to providing light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
