Question
An 8-year-old girl is experiencing a sore throat while speaking, severe coughing, and persistent fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pain caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis includes using anti-inflammatory medications, choosing the appropriate medication under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, regional treatments can include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. For fever, antipyretics can be taken, and if high fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs multiple times, surgery may be necessary. It is recommended that parents pay attention to their child’s health, seek medical attention in a timely manner, and do a good job of prevention and health care. In terms of diet, keep it light, stay well-hydrated, and avoid spicy foods.
