Question
A 10-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, slight cough, and a persistent low-grade fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. The parent wants to know how to effectively treat the crying caused by the child’s tonsillitis.
Answer
The main treatment for children’s tonsillitis includes antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice, and can also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If symptoms are severe or recurrent, it is recommended to seek medical assistance and consider surgical treatment. It is also important to maintain a light diet and consume liquid foods during treatment.
