Question
A 8-year-old boy, in school, has recently started feeling a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has been running a fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying?
Answer
Currently, clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatments such as tonsil lavage, intralesional tonsil injections, or laser therapy can be considered. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used. If the condition is severe, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. For those with recurrent episodes, surgery can be considered after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrence. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment in a timely manner, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
