Question
A 10-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing throat pain while speaking, accompanied by severe coughing and a persistent low-grade fever. How can one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and undergo regional treatments such as tonsil lavage, intratonsillar injection of medication, and laser therapy. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort; during persistent fever, fever-reducing medication should be used or medical attention sought promptly. Surgery is one method of treating recurrent episodes in children, and it is also important to arrange for a light diet, increase nutritional supplementation, to help the child recover quickly.
