Question
How should a sore throat caused by tonsillitis be treated? The boy is 8 years old, initially feeling pain in his throat, difficulty swallowing, and accompanied by a low-grade fever.
Answer
Treatment can initially involve using anti-inflammatory medication and regional therapies such as rinsing, intralesional injections of medication, and laser therapy. For severe swallowing pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If there is persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be used or medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods.
