Question
A boy, already 1 year old, feels pain when he speaks, drinks water, and has difficulty swallowing. He also has a persistent low fever. What should be done to treat the pain caused by the child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For treating such conditions, symptomatic antibiotics can be used for systemic and regional treatment, such as tonsil pocket irrigation or regional drug injection. If there is throat pain, analgesics can be used. If there is fever, appropriate cooling methods can be chosen. If it occurs frequently, surgery may need to be considered. Additionally, appropriately arranging diet and lifestyle habits can help in a quicker recovery.
