Question
My 8-year-old son, just started, said he felt pain when swallowing, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and now he has a persistent high fever. How should I treat the pain from my child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil washing, drug injections, and laser therapy. If the throat pain is severe, a suitable amount of pain reliever can be administered; if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken; if the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
