Question
An 11-year-old boy in elementary school complaints of a sore throat accompanied by severe coughing and fever. Question: How can one effectively treat the discomfort caused by a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be administered based on the symptoms, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. For children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. For children with recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the child maintains a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to aid in an early recovery from the illness.
