Question
A boy, 8 years old, initially felt a sore throat while speaking, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and now has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively to alleviate the pain?
Answer
Appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be administered. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injection. Painkillers can also be given based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help relieve the pain. If the child keeps having a fever, parents should also give fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their child for medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is also important to pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
