Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, options include anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s supervision, regional therapy, or even surgery. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for fever, physical or oral fever-reducing methods can be used based on body temperature. Moreover, adhere to a light diet regularly, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment. Surgery is also a suitable choice for children with recurrent episodes.
