Question
A six-year-old boy is suffering from throat pain due to tonsillitis, accompanied by hoarseness and persistent fever. How should it be treated?
Answer
Treatment for throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis typically involves prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local spray or laser therapy can be used. If the throat pain worsens, painkillers may be considered. If fever is present, cooling measures should be taken as appropriate, and immediate medical attention should be sought if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, after controlling the illness, surgery may be considered to avoid recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
