Question
A 13-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse, and also had a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil intramuscular injection. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to have surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
