Question
How to treat the pain in a 3-year-old boy who is suffering from a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low fever?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, consider using anti-inflammatory medications for symptomatic treatment, as well as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. If the child has symptoms of throat pain, painkillers can also be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be used. These methods are currently common treatments for tonsillitis. Additionally, for children who have recurrent attacks, surgery can also be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
