Question

How should one treat a child’s painful tonsillitis?

Answer

The primary treatment for a child’s tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medication for systemic treatment, while also considering regional treatment measures such as swabbing the crypts and regional drug injections. When throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given to relieve pain. If fever occurs, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the situation does not improve, seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent attacks, surgical treatment can be considered. In addition, it is important to provide the child with light and easy-to-digest food, enhance nutrition, and promote a quicker recovery.
