Question
A 7-year-old boy has recently started feeling a sore throat, which is uncomfortable when drinking water, with some difficulty swallowing. He also has a slight fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
During treatment, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications should be administered based on the child’s symptoms. When considering regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If throat pain is the primary symptom, painkillers can be considered. At the same time, moderately lowering body temperature can help manage mild fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms persist, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. Additionally, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule to assist the child in recovering quickly.
