Question
A 6-year-old boy, initially complaining of pain when swallowing, slight coughing, and seemingly a persistent low-grade fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administering anti-inflammatory medication to the child and undergoing regional treatments such as tonsil lavage, medication injections, or laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered to relieve the discomfort. If there is a persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is advised; if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. Additionally, paying attention to the child’s reasonable diet and living habits will help the disease recover sooner.
