Question
An 8-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has symptoms of persistent fever. How should one treat the pain caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, medication with anti-inflammatory effects can be chosen under a doctor’s guidance, or regional treatments can be administered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injection of medication. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be provided. In cases of persistent fever, use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the situation is severe, surgery can be considered after inflammation control. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
