Question
A five-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, mild cough, and persistent low-grade fever, diagnosed with tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the pain of children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of children’s tonsillitis usually involves following medical advice to use anti-inflammatory medications and may include regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, or laser therapy. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered; for persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended, and physical cooling methods can be adopted if the temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees Celsius. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis, with surgery also being an option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
