Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially had a slight sore throat, noticed difficulty swallowing, accompanied by low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with high fever for the best effect?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat is severe, analgesics may be recommended to relieve symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretics is advised; for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. In addition to these medication treatments, if a child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor about surgical treatment options. Finally, it is hoped that parents will pay attention to this condition and bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to pay attention to related preventive and health care measures.
