Question
A 13-year-old boy, a primary school student, recently experienced throat pain, feeling discomfort when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat crying caused by children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating children’s tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics should be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. While taking medication, regional treatment can be performed, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered to alleviate discomfort. When fever persists, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. Tonsillitis may recur; if the condition continues, surgery can be considered after inflammation is controlled. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume liquid foods during treatment.
