Question
A 9-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially experienced a slight pain in his throat, noticed it, and when speaking, his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had been slightly feverish. How should a child be treated for a sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider giving some painkillers. If the child still has a fever, then consider antipyretic treatment. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery early on. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
