Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, noticed difficulty in swallowing, and seemed to have a low-grade fever that never subsided. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis crying and achieve good results?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be effective. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, parents can consider giving painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. In cases of persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be applied promptly. Physical coolingis an option for temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as soon as possible. Parents should also pay attention to maintaining their child’s warmth to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
