Question
The 9-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, and now has a persistent high fever. How should he be treated for tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
In clinical practice, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. When considering regional treatment options, laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. For the main symptom of throat pain, painkillers can be used. When low fever occurs, physical cooling is the first choice; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child maintains a light diet and increases nutritional intake to aid recovery.
