Question
A four-year-old girl is experiencing tonsillitis accompanied by throat pain, severe coughing, and symptoms of fever and malaise. What should be the treatment for throat pain caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis and the resulting throat pain involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. Regional treatments may include medication sprays or laser therapy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. During fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping warm to prevent the condition from worsening.
