Question
A 3-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, tonsillitis. How should one treat the pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a physician to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be given. For persistent fever that does not subside, a moderate dose of oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
