Question
A boy (age) is suffering from tonsillitis symptoms, including throat pain, pain when drinking water, severe coughing, and a persistent low fever. How should it be treated?
Answer
The most common method for treating tonsillitis is the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the situation. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection medications can also be considered. If the child’s throat is extremely painful, analgesics can be administered in appropriate amounts. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can give antipyretic medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
