Question
A six-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of having tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To treat the pain of tonsillitis, one can opt for anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or undergo regional rinsing and spray treatments. Medication can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which are effective methods. If the pain is severe, a moderate dose of painkillers can be administered; for fever, antipyretic medications should be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to aid in the recovery of the condition.
