Question
A 9-year-old boy has started to feel a sore throat, along with difficulty swallowing, and now has a persistent high fever. How should the symptoms of tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, and regional treatment measures such as tonsil washing or internal medication injections can also be considered. For children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent colds that may trigger further inflammation.
