Question
A 8-year-old boy, in elementary school, reports a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever that has not subsided. What treatment should be considered for children’s tonsillitis pain?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, and in severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil pus washing and injections can be considered. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be used as needed, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For children with recurrent tonsillitis, surgery may be recommended. It is also important to pay attention to the child’s reasonable diet and sleep habits to promote recovery.
