Question
A 7-year-old boy is in elementary school. He has started feeling a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing, and now he has been running a high fever. I want to know how to treat children’s tonsillitis.
Answer
Treating children’s tonsillitis can involve using anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s supervision, or regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve the pain. Additionally, for fever, you can give the child fever-reducing medication. If the high fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention immediately. For recurrent inflammation, surgery may need to be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
