Question
The boy is 7 years old and initially complained of pain when swallowing water. He also noticed that his coughing seems more severe and he has been slightly feverish. How should a child with tonsillitis and crying be treated?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotics, and also use regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. In cases of throat pain, you can also give the child some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
