Question
My 9-year-old son has been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and fever recently. How should I treat his tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Currently, pediatric tonsillitis is primarily treated with antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture and are effective. Additionally, regional drug treatment or laser therapy can be considered. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be used. For persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly, and physical cooling methods can be employed if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child experiences recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. It is advisable for parents to pay attention and seek medical attention early, and to do a good job of related preventive health care work in their daily lives.
