Question
Baby boy, just over 6 months old, experiences throat pain when speaking, accompanied by slight coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should children with tonsillitis be treated for pain?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is the use of antibiotic medications, and regional treatments can be chosen as needed, such as auxiliary tonsil washing and intravenous drugs. Painkillers are provided based on the child’s condition, especially when there is severe throat pain, which helps to alleviate suffering. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
