Question
A 9-year-old boy, currently in elementary school, has been experiencing severe and persistent sore throat, cough, and low-grade fever recently. What are the treatment methods for the pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use antibiotics for treatment, which have a high efficacy. In terms of regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. Painkillers can be administered as needed, and physical fever reduction should be performed if there is a low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the condition frequently recurs, surgical treatment can be considered after treatment control to prevent recurrence. It is advisable to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise after the condition improves to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
