Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially had a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and also had a bit of a fever and lack of energy. How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for tonsillitis pain in children involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms and, while taking the medication, can also perform some regional treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the therapeutic effect. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur; if there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
