Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced a slight sore throat, found that swallowing was a bit difficult, and also had a bit of fever and lack of energy. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment methods can be adopted, such as administering anti-inflammatory medications and regional treatments like tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
