Question
A seven-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, mild coughing, and persistent high fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should one treat the pain to alleviate it?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis usually involves administering anti-inflammatory medication as prescribed by a doctor. In cases of more severe illness, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections may be recommended. For severe throat pain, a moderate dose of painkillers can be given. For fever, antipyretic medication can be taken, and in severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in appropriate physical activities to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
