Question
A four-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain and difficulty, accompanied by a persistent high fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis typically involves antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to medical advice. While taking antibiotics, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be administered to enhance efficacy. If the pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. Measures to reduce fever should be considered when fever persists, and immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. For recurrent cases, surgical treatment is also a viable option. During the treatment period, it is important to arrange for a light diet for the child and to enhance nutritional intake to promote a quick recovery.
