Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently started feeling throat pain. His voice is a bit hoarse, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How should the pain of a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Generally, the pain of a child’s tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics, accompanied by regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and drug injections. Severe throat pain can be relieved with painkillers, and fever can be treated with physical or oral fever-reducing medications. For those with poor medication response and recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and preventing colds to avoid triggering inflammation.
