Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, started with a sore throat, noticed more severe coughing, and had a persistent high fever. How should tonsillitis be treated effectively for a child in this situation?
Answer
Tonsillitis in children can be treated with anti-inflammatory medication. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injectable medications. For throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If this condition occurs frequently, consider surgery after treatment to prevent recurrence. During this period, maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
