Question
A 11-year-old boy, a primary school student, is experiencing a sore throat and hoarseness, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should one treat tonsillitis with fever in children?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medication such as symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be chosen under medical guidance, including tonsil crypt irrigation or regional injection drugs. If there is throat pain, analgesics can be considered, and antipyretics should be applied promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid overexertion.
