Question
A 9-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat it to relieve the pain?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered first. If the condition is more severe, consider combining regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. When pain is severe, painkillers can be used in appropriate amounts to alleviate discomfort. If there is persistent fever, use antipyretic medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure the child consumes adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid overexertion.
