Question
My son is 8 years old. He has had a sore throat recently, accompanied by a slight cough, fever, and lack of energy. How should I treat the pain caused by infant and young children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, it is recommended to use anti-inflammatory medications for the child and consider regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be used in moderation, and appropriate fever-reducing methods should be chosen based on body temperature. In the event of severe acute conditions or complications, it is advisable to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides, while also paying attention to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to promote recovery.
