Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever,tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat to alleviate his discomfort?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment can be adopted, including the administration of anti-inflammatory medications. In terms of regional therapy, laser treatment or pharmacological irrigation can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. During low-grade fever, physical cooling measures should be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, after controlling the illness, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrent episodes. It is important to maintain a light diet in daily life, and during treatment, it is advisable to consume mainly liquid foods.
