Question
A 9-year-old boy, a primary school student, has recently started feeling a sore throat and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent fever. He inquires about how to effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat.
Answer
For tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, as well as regional rinsing or spraying, and injecting the corresponding medication into the tonsils, which yields good results. Painkillers can be administered as needed, and antipyretic medications should be applied promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and if the condition is similar, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, is provided with light meals, and is well-rested to avoid overexertion.
